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

The termination of mature eukaryotic mRNAs occurs at specific polyadenylation sites located downstream from stop codons in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR). An accurate delineation of these sites is essential for the study of 3'-UTR-based gene regulation and for the design of pertinent probes for transcriptome analysis. Although typical poly(A) sites are located between 0 and 2 kb from the stop codon, EST sequence analyses have identified sites located at unexpectedly long ranges (5-10 kb) in a number of genes. Here we perform a complete mapping of EST and full-length cDNA sequences on the mouse and human genome to observe putative poly(A) sites extending beyond annotated 3'-ends and into the intergenic regions. We introduce several quality parameters for poly(A) site prediction and train a classification tree to associate P-values to predicted sites. We observe a higher than background level of high-scoring sites up to 12-15 kb past the stop codon, both in human and mouse. This leads to an estimate of about 5000 human genes having unreported 3'-end extensions and about 3500 novel polyadenylated transcripts lying in present "intergenic" regions. These high-scoring, long-range poly(A) sites corresponding to novel transcripts and gene extensions should be incorporated into current human and mouse gene repositories.
