Claim
In a study of 959 primary prostate-cancer donors, eight integrated mutational footprints collectively explained the mutational processes in 85% of primary prostate-cancer genomes; four footprints present in 37% of primary tumours were associated with shorter time to metastasis.

Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 3 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:f0c08f56-7ade-8239-8238-8c06d86217b7
Not yet independently audited.Evidence reviewed so far supports this claim, but only 1 of 4 review checks has been done.A quoted passage from nature.com was not found on the page when Galedra fetched it.
Why?
Strongest counted support: The abstract directly reports the donor count, eight footprints, 85% genome coverage, 37% tumour prevalence, and metastasis association. weight 2.000000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly reports the donor count, eight footprints, 85% coverage, 37% prevalence, and metastasis association.
Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.
