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

Cancer dependency maps have accelerated the discovery of tumor vulnerabilities that can be exploited as drug targets when translatable to patients. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a compendium of 'maps' detailing the genetic, epigenetic and molecular changes that occur during the pathogenesis of cancer, yet it lacks a dependency map to translate gene essentiality in patient tumors. Here, we used machine learning to build translational dependency maps for patient tumors, which identified tumor vulnerabilities that predict drug responses and disease outcomes. A similar approach was used to map gene tolerability in healthy tissues to prioritize tumor vulnerabilities with the best therapeutic windows. A subset of patient-translatable synthetic lethalities were experimentally tested, including PAPSS1/PAPSS12 and CNOT7/CNOT78, which were validated in vitro and in vivo. Notably, PAPSS1 synthetic lethality was driven by collateral deletion of PAPSS2 with PTEN and was correlated with patient survival. Finally, the translational dependency map is provided as a web-based application for exploring tumor vulnerabilities.
