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

We sequenced the genomes of ten unrelated individuals and identified heterozygous stop codon-gain variants in protein-coding genes: we then sequenced their transcriptomes and assessed the expression levels of the stop codon-gain alleles. An ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between their expression levels (p=4×10(-16)). This difference was almost entirely accounted for by whether the stop codon-gain variant had a second, non-protein-truncating function in or near an alternate transcript: stop codon-gains without alternate functions were generally not found in the cDNA (p=3×10(-5)). Additionally, stop codon-gain variants in two intronless genes were not expressed, an unexpected outcome given previous studies. In this study, stop codon-gain variants were either well expressed in all individuals or were never expressed. Our finding that stop codon-gain variants were generally expressed only when they had an alternate function suggests that most naturally occurring stop codon-gain variants in protein-coding genes are either not transcribed or have their transcripts destroyed.
