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

backgroundThe 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of transcripts are not well characterized for many genes and often extend beyond the annotated regions. Since Affymetrix 3' expression arrays were designed based on expressed sequence tags, many probesets map to intergenic regions downstream of genes. We used expression information from these probesets to predict transcript extension beyond currently known boundaries.

resultsBased on our dataset encompassing expression in 22 different murine tissues, we identified 845 genes with predicted 3'UTR extensions. These extensions have a similar conservation as known 3'UTRs, which is distinctly higher than intergenic regions. We verified 8 of the predictions by PCR and found all of the predicted regions to be expressed. The method can be extended to other 3' expression microarray platforms as we demonstrate with human data. Additional confirming evidence was obtained from public paired end read data.

conclusionsWe show that many genes have 3'UTR regions extending beyond currently known gene regions and provide a method to identify such regions based on microarray expression data. Since 3' UTR contain microRNA binding sites and other stability determining regions, identification of the full length 3' UTR is important to elucidate posttranscriptional regulation.
