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

ORFanage is a system designed to assign open reading frames (ORFs) to known and novel gene transcripts while maximizing similarity to annotated proteins. The primary intended use of ORFanage is the identification of ORFs in the assembled results of RNA sequencing experiments, a capability that most transcriptome assembly methods do not have. Our experiments demonstrate how ORFanage can be used to find novel protein variants in RNA-seq datasets, and to improve the annotations of ORFs in tens of thousands of transcript models in the human annotation databases. Through its implementation of a highly accurate and efficient pseudo-alignment algorithm, ORFanage is substantially faster than other ORF annotation methods, enabling its application to very large datasets. When used to analyze transcriptome assemblies, ORFanage can aid in the separation of signal from transcriptional noise and the identification of likely functional transcript variants, ultimately advancing our understanding of biology and medicine.
