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

Splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) are antisense compounds that act directly on pre-mRNA to modulate alternative splicing (AS). This study demonstrates the value that artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) provides for the identification of functional, verifiable, and therapeutic SSOs. We trained XGboost tree models using splicing factor (SF) pre-mRNA binding profiles and spliceosome assembly information to identify modulatory SSO binding sites on pre-mRNA. Using Shapley and out-of-bag analyses we also predicted the identity of specific SFs whose binding to pre-mRNA is blocked by SSOs. This step adds considerable transparency to AI/ML-driven drug discovery and informs biological insights useful in further validation steps. We applied this approach to previously established functional SSOs to retrospectively identify the SFs likely to regulate those events. We then took a prospective validation approach using a novel target in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), NEDD4L exon 13 (NEDD4Le13). Targeting NEDD4Le13 with an AI/ML-designed SSO decreased the proliferative and migratory behavior of TNBC cells via downregulation of the TGFβ pathway. Overall, this study illustrates the ability of AI/ML to extract actionable insights from RNA-seq data.
