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

Most clinical diagnostic and genomic research setups focus almost exclusively on coding regions and essential splice sites, thereby overlooking other non-coding variants. As a result, intronic variants that can promote mis-splicing events across a range of diseases, including cancer, are yet to be systematically investigated. Such investigations would require both genomic and transcriptomic data, but there currently exist very few datasets that satisfy these requirements. We address this by developing a single-nucleus full-length RNA-sequencing approach that allows for the detection of potentially pathogenic intronic variants. We exemplify the potency of our approach by applying pancreatic cancer tumor and tumor-derived specimens and linking intronic variants to splicing dysregulation. We specifically find that prominent intron retention and pseudo-exon activation events are shared by the tumors and affect genes encoding key transcriptional regulators. Our work paves the way for the assessment and exploitation of intronic mutations as powerful prognostic markers and potential therapeutic targets in cancer.
