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

Human genes form a large variety of isoforms after transcription, encoding distinct transcripts to exert different functions. Single-molecule RNA sequencing facilitates accurate identification of the isoforms by extending nucleotide read length significantly. However, the gene or isoform diversity is lowly represented by the mRNA molecules captured by single-molecule RNA sequencing. Here, we show that a cDNA normalization procedure before the library preparation for PacBio RS II sequencing captures 3.2-6.0 fold more full-length high-quality isoform species for different human samples, as compared to the non-normalized capture procedure. Many lowly expressed, functionally important isoforms can be detected. In addition, normalized PacBio RNA sequencing also resolves more allele-specific haplotype transcripts. Finally, we apply the cDNA normalization based long-read RNA sequencing method to profile the transcriptome of human gastric signet-ring cell carcinomas, identify new cancer-specific transcriptome signatures, and thus, bring out the utility of the improved protocols in gene expression studies.
