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

Gene fusions are considered hallmarks of cancer which can be produced by chromosomal rearrangements. These DNA-level fusion events may result in the expression of chimeric RNAs; however, chimeric RNAs can be also produced by intergenic splicing events. Chimeric transcripts created by the latter mechanism are regulated at the transcriptional level and thus present additional modes of action and regulation. They have demonstrated importance in normal cell physiology, and their dysregulation can induce oncogenesis and impact cell differentiation. In this review, we outline proven mechanisms through which intergenically spliced chimeric RNAs are involved in carcinogenesis. We highlight their similarity to canonical chimeric RNAs resulting from gene fusions as well as their unique qualities. Additionally, we review known roles of chimeric RNA in cell differentiation and propose means through which chimeric RNAs may be valuable as stage-specific markers or as targets for expression profiling.
