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

High throughput EST and full-length cDNA sequencing have revealed extensive variations at the 3' ends of mammalian transcripts. Whether all of these changes are biologically meaningful has been the subject of controversy, as such, results may reflect in part transcription or polyadenylation leakage. We selected here a set of tandem poly(A) sites predicted from EST/cDNA sequence analysis that (i) are conserved between human and mouse, (ii) produce alternative 3' isoforms with unusual size features and (iii) are not documented in current genome databases, and we submitted these sites to experimental validation in mouse tissues. Out of 86 tested poly(A) sites from 44 genes, 84 were individually confirmed using a specially devised RT-PCR strategy. We then focused on validating the exon structure between distant tandem poly(A) sites separated by over 3 kb, and between stop codons and alternative poly(A) sites located at 4.5 kb or more, using a long-distance RT-PCR strategy. In most cases, long transcripts spanning the whole poly(A)-poly(A) or stop-poly(A) distance were detected, confirming that tandem sites were part of the same transcription unit. Given the apparent conservation of these long alternative 3' ends, different regulatory functions can be foreseen, depending on the location where transcription starts.
