Deep transcriptomics reveals cell-specific isoforms of pan-neuronal genes.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Profiling alternative splicing in single neurons using RNA-seq is challenging due to low capture efficiency and sensitivity. We therefore know much less about splicing patterns and regulation across neurons than we do about gene expression. Here we leverage unique attributes of C. elegans to investigate deep neuron-specific transcriptomes with biological replicates generated by the CeNGEN consortium, enabling high-confidence assessment of splicing across neuron types even for lowly-expressed genes. Global splicing maps reveal several striking observations, including pan-neuronal genes harboring cell-specific splice variants, and abundant differential intron retention across neuron types. We develop an algorithm to identify unique cell-specific expression patterns, which reveals both cell-specific isoforms and potential regulatory factors establishing these isoforms. Genetic interrogation of these factors in vivo identifies three distinct splicing factors employed to control splicing in a single neuron. Finally, we develop a user-friendly platform for spatial transcriptomic visualization of these splicing patterns with single-neuron resolution.
