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

Small RNA sequencing has been widely adopted to study the diversity of extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) in biofluids; however, the analysis of exRNA samples can be challenging: they are vulnerable to contamination and artifacts from different isolation techniques, present in lower concentrations than cellular RNA, and occasionally of exogenous origin. To address these challenges, we present exceRpt, the exRNA-processing toolkit of the NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium (ERCC). exceRpt is structured as a cascade of filters and quantifications prioritized based on one's confidence in a given set of annotated RNAs. It generates quality control reports and abundance estimates for RNA biotypes. It is also capable of characterizing mappings to exogenous genomes, which, in turn, can be used to generate phylogenetic trees. exceRpt has been used to uniformly process all ∼3,500 exRNA-seq datasets in the public exRNA Atlas and is available from genboree.org and github.gersteinlab.org/exceRpt.
