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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second leading cause of cancer deaths globally. In recent years, short-read single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been instrumental in deciphering tumor heterogeneities. However, these studies only enable gene-level quantification but neglect alterations in transcript structures arising from alternative end processing or splicing. In this study, we integrated short- and long-read scRNA-seq of CRC samples to build an isoform-resolution CRC transcriptomic atlas. We identified 394 dysregulated transcript structures in tumor epithelial cells, including 299 resulting from various combinations of splicing events. Second, we characterized genes and isoforms associated with epithelial lineages and subpopulations exhibiting distinct prognoses. Among 31,935 isoforms with novel junctions, 330 were supported by The Cancer Genome Atlas RNA-seq and mass spectrometry data. Finally, we built an algorithm that integrated novel peptides derived from open reading frames of recurrent tumor-specific transcripts with mass spectrometry data and identified recurring neoepitopes that may aid the development of cancer vaccines.
