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

backgroundChromosome 3p (chr3p) is frequently deleted in multiple cancers, indicating the presence of shared tumor suppressors. In aggressive uveal melanomas (UVM), this deletion often co-occurs with chr8q amplification (8q+), suggesting strong selection pressure during UVM evolution.

methodsTo understand the pattern of genomic alterations mediated by chr3p deletion, we have developed an algorithm for detecting isochromosomes in 10,632 TCGA cancer patients. We further perform integrative genomics analysis to investigate how chr3p deletion could affect subsequent cancer genome evolution and synthetic lethality in UVM.

resultsAnalysis of genomic alterations in 33 different cancer types implicates the deletion or deleterious mutations of SET-domain-containing 2 (
