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

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become the widely preferred choice for surveying the genome-wide transcriptome complexity in many organisms. However, the broad adaptation of this methodology into the clinic still needs further evaluation of potential effect of sample preparation factors on its analytical reliability using patient samples. In this study, we examined the impact of three major sample preparation factors (i.e., cDNA library storage time, the quantity of input RNA, and cryopreservation of cell samples) on sequence biases, gene expression profiles, and enriched biological functions using RNAs isolated from primary B cell and CD4+ cell blood samples of healthy subjects. Our comprehensive comparison results suggested that different cDNA library storage time, quantity of input RNA, and cryopreservation of cell samples did not significantly alter gene transcriptional expression profiles generated by RNA-seq experiments. These findings shed new lights on the potential applications of RNA-seq technique to patient samples in a regular clinical setting.
