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 introduce Scallop, an accurate reference-based transcript assembler that improves reconstruction of multi-exon and lowly expressed transcripts. Scallop preserves long-range phasing paths extracted from reads, while producing a parsimonious set of transcripts and minimizing coverage deviation. On 10 human RNA-seq samples, Scallop produces 34.5% and 36.3% more correct multi-exon transcripts than StringTie and TransComb, and respectively identifies 67.5% and 52.3% more lowly expressed transcripts. Scallop achieves higher sensitivity and precision than previous approaches over a wide range of coverage thresholds.
