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

Modern RNA-sequencing protocols can produce multi-end data, where multiple reads originating from the same transcript are attached to the same barcode. The long-range information in the multi-end reads is beneficial in phasing complicated spliced isoforms, but assembly algorithms that leverage such information are lacking. Here we introduce Scallop2, a reference-based assembler optimized for multi-end RNA-seq data. The algorithmic core of Scallop2 consists of three steps: (1) using an algorithm to "bridge" multi-end reads into single-end phasing paths in the context of a splice graph, (2) employing a method to refine erroneous splice graphs by utilizing multi-end reads that fail to bridge, and (3) piping the refined splice graph and the bridged phasing paths into an algorithm that integrates multiple phase-preserving decompositions. Tested on 561 cells in two Smart-seq3 datasets and on 10 Illumina paired-end RNA-seq samples, Scallop2 substantially improves the assembly accuracy compared to two popular assemblers StringTie2 and Scallop.
