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

Aneuploidy is a major source of gene dosage imbalance due to copy number alterations (CNA), and viable human trisomies are model disorders of altered gene expression. We study gene and allele-specific expression (ASE) of 9668 single-cell fibroblasts from trisomy 21 (T21) discordant twins and from mosaic T21, T18, T13 and T8. We examine 928 single cells with deep scRNAseq. Expected and observed overexpression of trisomic genes in trisomic vs. diploid bulk RNAseq is not detectable in trisomic vs. diploid single cells. Instead, for trisomic genes with low-to-average expression, their altered gene dosage is mainly due to the higher fraction of trisomic cells simultaneously expressing these genes, in agreement with a stochastic 2-state burst-like model of transcription. These results, confirmed in a further analysis of 8740 single fibroblasts with shallow scRNAseq, suggest that the specific transcriptional profile of each gene contributes to the phenotypic variability of trisomies. We propose an improved model to understand the effects of CNA and, generally, of gene regulation on gene dosage imbalance.
