Low severity
Not yet reviewed
Ordering reversal
Different tasks across studies

Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes ranks VEST4 above ClinPred in 4 of 4 comparisons; other studies rank ClinPred above VEST4 in 13 of 14.

An automatic lead, not a finding of error. The results below are shown as published, everywhere on the site, until a reviewer decides otherwise.

Which studies agree

3 papers rank ClinPred above VEST4 in 13 of their 14 comparisons and VEST4 higher in 1. Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced… ranks VEST4 above ClinPred in all 4 comparisons that are not ties (1 is a tie).

Rank ClinPred higher (3): Livesey and Marsh 2025, An openly licensed benchmark…, ProteinGym AMFR assay-level Spearman…

Mixed (0): none

Each paper sits where at least two thirds of its comparisons point; Mixed means neither model reaches two thirds. The larger, outlined dot is the paper that disagrees.
