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

High-throughput sequencing protocols such as RNA-seq have made it possible to interrogate the sequence, structure and abundance of RNA transcripts at higher resolution than previous microarray and other molecular techniques. While many computational tools have been proposed for identifying mRNA variation through differential splicing/alternative exon usage, challenges in its analysis remain. Here, we propose a framework for unbiased and robust discovery of aberrant RNA transcript structures using short read sequencing data based on shape changes in an RNA-seq coverage profile. Shape changes in selecting sample outliers in RNA-seq, SCISSOR, is a series of procedures for transforming and normalizing base-level RNA sequencing coverage data in a transcript independent manner, followed by a statistical framework for its analysis ( https://github.com/hyochoi/SCISSOR ). The resulting high dimensional object is amenable to unsupervised screening of structural alterations across RNA-seq cohorts with nearly no assumption on the mutational mechanisms underlying abnormalities. This enables SCISSOR to independently recapture known variants such as splice site mutations in tumor suppressor genes as well as novel variants that are previously unrecognized or difficult to identify by any existing methods including recurrent alternate transcription start sites and recurrent complex deletions in 3' UTRs.
