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

Quickly growing genetic variation data of unknown clinical significance demand computational methods that can reliably predict clinical phenotypes and deeply unravel molecular mechanisms. On the platform enabled by the Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation (CAGI), we develop a novel "weakly supervised" regression (WSR) model that not only predicts precise clinical significance (probability of pathogenicity) from inexact training annotations (class of pathogenicity) but also infers underlying molecular mechanisms in a variant-specific manner. Compared to multiclass logistic regression, a representative multiclass classifier, our kernelized WSR improves the performance for the ENIGMA Challenge set from 0.72 to 0.97 in binary area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and from 0.64 to 0.80 in ordinal multiclass AUC. WSR model interpretation and protein structural interpretation reach consensus in corroborating the most probable molecular mechanisms by which some pathogenic BRCA1 variants confer clinical significance, namely metal-binding disruption for p.C44F and p.C47Y, protein-binding disruption for p.M18T, and structure destabilization for p.S1715N.
