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 splicing allows multiple transcripts to be generated from the same gene to diversify the protein repertoire and gain new functions despite a limited coding genome. It can impact a wide spectrum of biological processes, including disease. However, its significance has long been underestimated due to limitations in dissecting the precise role of each splicing isoform in a physiological context. Furthermore, identifying key regulatory elements to correct deleterious splicing isoforms has proven equally challenging, increasing the difficulty of tackling the role of alternative splicing in cell biology. In this work, we take advantage of dCasRx, a catalytically inactive RNA targeting CRISPR-dCas13 ortholog, to efficiently switch alternative splicing patterns of endogenous transcripts without affecting overall gene expression levels cost-effectively. Additionally, we demonstrate a new application for the dCasRx splice-editing system to identify key regulatory RNA elements of specific splicing events. With this approach, we are expanding the RNA toolkit to better understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying alternative splicing and its physiological impact in various biological processes, including pathological conditions.
