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

summaryMost eukaryotic genes produce alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms. APA is dynamically regulated under different growth and differentiation conditions. Here, we present a bioinformatics package, named APAlyzer, for examining 3'UTR APA, intronic APA and gene expression changes using RNA-seq data and annotated polyadenylation sites in the PolyA_DB database. Using APAlyzer and data from the GTEx database, we present APA profiles across human tissues. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: APAlyzer is freely available at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/APAlyzer.html as an R/Bioconductor package. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
