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

Public archives of next-generation sequencing data are growing exponentially, but the difficulty of marshaling this data has led to its underutilization by scientists. Here, we present ASCOT, a resource that uses annotation-free methods to rapidly analyze and visualize splice variants across tens of thousands of bulk and single-cell data sets in the public archive. To demonstrate the utility of ASCOT, we identify novel cell type-specific alternative exons across the nervous system and leverage ENCODE and GTEx data sets to study the unique splicing of photoreceptors. We find that PTBP1 knockdown and MSI1 and PCBP2 overexpression are sufficient to activate many photoreceptor-specific exons in HepG2 liver cancer cells. This work demonstrates how large-scale analysis of public RNA-Seq data sets can yield key insights into cell type-specific control of RNA splicing and underscores the importance of considering both annotated and unannotated splicing events.
