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

backgroundAccurate analysis of whole-gene expression and individual-exon expression is essential to characterize different transcript isoforms and identify alternative splicing events in human genes. One of the omic technologies widely used in many studies on human samples are the exon-specific expression microarray platforms.

resultsSince there are not many validated comparative analyses to identify specific splicing events using data derived from these types of platforms, we have developed an algorithm (called ESLiM) to detect significant changes in exon use, and applied it to a reference dataset of 270 human genes that show alternative expression in different tissues. We compared the results with three other methodological approaches and provided the R source code to be applied elsewhere. The genes positively detected by these analyses also provide a verified subset of human genes that present tissue-regulated isoforms. Furthermore, we performed a validation analysis on human patient samples comparing two different subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and we experimentally validated the splicing in several selected genes that showed exons with highly significant signal change.

conclusionsThe comparative analyses with other methods using a fair set of human genes that show alternative splicing and the validation on clinical samples demonstrate that the proposed novel algorithm is a reliable tool for detecting differential splicing in exon-level expression data.
