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

Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental regulatory process in all higher eukaryotes. However, AS landscapes for a number of animals, including goats, have not been explored to date. Here, we sequenced 60 samples representing 5 tissues from 4 developmental stages in triplicate using RNA-seq to elucidate the goat AS landscape. In total, 14,521 genes underwent AS (AS genes), accounting for 85.53% of intron-containing genes (16,697). Among these AS genes, 6,342 were differentially expressed in different tissues. Of the AS events identified, retained introns were most prevalent (37.04% of total AS events). Functional enrichment analysis of differential and specific AS genes indicated goat AS mainly involved in organ function and development. Particularly, AS genes identified in leg muscle were associated with the "regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development" GO term. Given genes were associated with this term, four of which (NRG4, IP6K3, AMPD1, and DYSF) might play crucial roles in skeletal muscle development. Further investigation indicated these five genes, harbored 13 ASs, spliced exclusively in leg muscle, likely played a role in goat leg muscle development. These results provide novel insights into goat AS landscapes and a valuable resource for investigation of goat transcriptome complexity and gene regulation.
