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

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) enables a gene to generate multiple transcripts with different 3' ends, which is dynamic across different cell types or conditions. Many computational methods have been developed to characterize sample-specific APA using the corresponding RNA-seq data, but suffered from high error rate on both polyadenylation site (PAS) identification and quantification of PAS usage (PAU), and bias toward 3' untranslated regions. Here we developed a tool for APA identification and quantification (APAIQ) from RNA-seq data, which can accurately identify PAS and quantify PAU in a transcriptome-wide manner. Using 3' end-seq data as the benchmark, we showed that APAIQ outperforms current methods on PAS identification and PAU quantification, including DaPars2, Aptardi, mountainClimber, SANPolyA, and QAPA. Finally, applying APAIQ on 421 RNA-seq samples from liver cancer patients, we identified >540 tumor-associated APA events and experimentally validated two intronic polyadenylation candidates, demonstrating its capacity to unveil cancer-related APA with a large-scale RNA-seq data set.
