Transcriptional mutagenesis reduces splicing fidelity in mammalian cells.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Splicing fidelity is essential to the maintenance of cellular functions and viability, and mutations or natural variations in pre-mRNA sequences and consequent alteration of splicing have been implicated in the etiology and progression of numerous diseases. The extent to which transcriptional errors or lesion-induced transcriptional mutagenesis (TM) influences splicing fidelity is not currently known. To investigate this, we employed site-specific DNA lesions on the transcribed strand of a minigene splicing reporter in normal mammalian cells. These were the common mutagenic lesions O6-methylguanine (O6-meG) and 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). The minigene splicing reporters were derived from lamin A (LMNA) and proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1), both with known links to human diseases that result from deregulated splicing. In cells with active DNA repair, 1-4% misincorporation occurred opposite the lesions, which increased to 20-40% when repair was compromised. Furthermore, our results reveal that TM at a splice site significantly reduces in vivo splicing fidelity, thereby changing the relative expression of alternative splicing forms in mammalian cells. These findings suggest that splicing defects caused by transcriptional errors can potentially lead to phenotypic cellular changes and increased susceptibility to the development of disease.
