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 generally regulated by trans-splicing factors that specifically bind to cis-elements in pre-mRNAs. The human genome encodes ∼1,500 RNA binding proteins (RBPs) that potentially regulate AS, yet their functions remain largely unknown. To explore their potential activities, we fused the putative functional domains of RBPs to a sequence-specific RNA-binding domain and systemically analyzed how these engineered factors affect splicing. We discovered that ∼80% of low-complexity domains in endogenous RBPs displayed distinct context-dependent activities in regulating splicing, indicating that AS is under more extensive regulation than previously expected. We developed a machine learning approach to classify and predict the activities of RBPs based on their sequence compositions and further validated this model using endogenous RBPs and synthetic polypeptides. These results represent a systematic inspection, modeling, prediction, and validation of how RBP sequences affect their activities in controlling splicing, paving the way for de novo engineering of artificial splicing factors.
