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

The automated transcript discovery and quantification of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data are important tasks of next-generation sequencing (NGS) research. However, these tasks are challenging due to the uncertainties that arise in the inference of complete splicing isoform variants from partially observed short reads. Here, we address this problem by explicitly reducing the inherent uncertainties in a biological system caused by missing information. In our approach, the RNA-seq procedure for transforming transcripts into short reads is considered an information transmission process. Consequently, the data uncertainties are substantially reduced by exploiting the information transduction capacity of information theory. The experimental results obtained from the analyses of simulated datasets and RNA-seq datasets from cell lines and tissues demonstrate the advantages of our method over state-of-the-art competitors. Our algorithm is an open-source implementation of MaxInfo.
