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

Massive transcriptome sequencing through the RNAseq technology has enabled quantitative transcriptome-wide investigation of co-/post-transcriptional mechanisms such as alternative splicing and RNA editing. The latter is abundant in human transcriptomes in which million adenosines are deaminated into inosines by the ADAR enzymes. RNA editing modulates the innate immune response and its deregulation has been associated with different human diseases including autoimmune and inflammatory pathologies, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, and tumors. Accurate profiling of RNA editing using deep transcriptome data is still a challenge, and the results depend strongly on processing and alignment steps taken. Accurate calling of the inosinome repertoire, however, is required to reliably quantify RNA editing and, in turn, investigate its biological and functional role across multiple samples. Using real RNAseq data, we demonstrate the impact of different bioinformatics steps on RNA editing detection and describe the main metrics to quantify its level of activity.
