Evidence and investigation

Contested results

Where one study disagrees with what other studies report for the same models, and what we are doing to resolve each case.

These are automatic leads, not findings of error. Each release, a check compares how every study ranks the models it shares with other studies. It flags a study that reverses the order the others agree on, or whose gap to a shared reference model lies well outside theirs. Different tasks, populations or metrics often explain a flag.

A flag never hides a result. Flagged results stay in every table, page and download, marked Contested. A result is withheld only when a reviewer marks it disputed.

How the check works, and how each follow-up is recorded: discrepancies between studies.

Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes ranks FATHMM-MKL above SNAP2 in 3 of 4 comparisons; Livesey and Marsh 2025, Genome Biology 26:104 (Europe PMC full text XML) ranks SNAP2 above FATHMM-MKL in 7 of 7 comparisons. No other study gives a verdict, so neither is the outlier.

2 papers rank SNAP2 above FATHMM-MKL in 8 of their 12 comparisons and FATHMM-MKL higher in 3; 1 is a tie. Of those papers, Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced… ranks FATHMM-MKL higher on its own (3 of 5).
