1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mutational signatures provide key insights into cancer mutational processes, but the availability of signature catalogues generated by different groups using distinct methodologies underscores a need for standardization. We introduce a Bayesian framework that offers a systematic approach to expanding existing signature catalogues for any type of mutational signature while grouping patients based on shared signature patterns. We demonstrate that this approach can identify both known and novel molecular subtypes across nearly 8000 samples spanning six cancer types and show that stratifications derived from signature yield prognostic groups, further enhancing the translational potential of mutational signatures.
