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

BACKGROUND/

aimIn the field of cancer research, reconstructing clonal evolution is of major interest. The technique provides new insights for analysis and prediction of tumor development. However, reconstruction based on mutational data is characterized by several challenges. MATERIALS AND

methodsBy performing extensive literature research, we identified 51 currently available tools for reconstructing clonal evolution. By analyzing two cancer data sets (n=21), we investigated the applicability and performance of each tool.

resultsSeventeen out of 51 tools could be applied to our data. Correct clustering of variants can be observed for 4 patients in the presence of ≤3 clusters and ≥5 time points. Correct phylogenetic trees are determined for 10 patients. Accurate visualization is possible, by applying adjustments to the original algorithms.

conclusionDespite bearing considerable potential, automatic reconstruction of clonal evolution remains challenging. To replace tedious manual reconstruction, further research including systematic error analyses using simulation tools needs to be conducted.
