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

Cooperatively acting pairs of cis-regulatory elements play important roles in many biological processes. Here, we describe a statistical approach, compositionally orthogonalized co-occurrence analysis (coCOA) that detects pairs of oligonucleotides that preferentially co-occur in pairs of sequence regions, controlling for correlations between the compositions of the analyzed regions. coCOA identified three clusters of oligonucleotide pairs that frequently co-occur at 5' and 3' ends of human and mouse introns. The largest cluster involved GC-rich sequences at the 5' ends of introns that co-occur and are co-conserved with specific AU-rich sequences near intron 3' ends. These motifs are preferentially conserved when they occur together, as measured by a new co-conservation measure, supporting common in vivo function. These motif pairs are also enriched in introns flanking alternative "cassette" exons, suggesting a role in silencing of intervening exons, and we showed that these motifs can cooperatively silence splicing of an intervening exon in a splicing reporter assay. This approach can be easily generalized to problems beyond RNA splicing.
