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

Genomic variants affecting pre-messenger RNA splicing and its regulation are known to underlie many rare genetic diseases. However, common workflows for genetic diagnosis and clinical variant interpretation frequently overlook splice-altering variants. To better serve patient populations and advance biomedical knowledge, it has become increasingly important to develop and refine approaches for detecting and interpreting pathogenic splicing variants. In this review, we will summarize a few recent developments and challenges in using RNA sequencing technologies for rare disease investigation. Moreover, we will discuss how recent computational splicing prediction tools have emerged as complementary approaches for revealing disease-causing variants underlying splicing defects. We speculate that continuous improvements to sequencing technologies and predictive modeling will not only expand our understanding of splicing regulation but also bring us closer to filling the diagnostic gap for rare disease patients.
