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

Almost all genes in normal cells undergo alternative RNA splicing to generate a greater extent of diversification of gene products for normal cellular functions. RNA splicing is tightly regulated and closely interplays with genetic and epigenetic machinery. While DNA polymorphism and somatic mutations modulate alternative splicing patterns, RNA splicing also controls genomic stability, chromatin organization, and transcriptome. Tumor cells, in turn, often take advantage of aberrant RNA splicing to develop, grow and progress into therapy-resistant tumors. Understanding alternative RNA splicing in tumor cells would, therefore, provide us opportunities to gain further insights into tumor biology, identify diagnostic or prognosis biomarkers, as well as to design effective therapeutic means to control tumor progression. Here, we provide an overview of RNA splicing mechanisms and use prostate cancer as an example to review recent advancements in our understanding of RNA splicing in cancer progression and therapy resistance. We also discuss emerging diagnostic and therapeutic potentials of RNA splicing events or RNA splicing factors.
