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

Cell-type-specific alternative splicing (AS) enables differential gene isoform expression between diverse neuron types with distinct identities and functions. Current studies linking individual RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to AS in a limited number of neuron types underscore the need for holistic modeling. Here, we use network reverse engineering to derive a map of the neuron-type-specific AS-regulatory landscape of 133 mouse neocortical cell types using pseudobulk transcriptomes derived from single-cell data. We infer the regulons of 350 RBPs and their cell-type-specific activities, among which we validate Elavl2 as a key RBP for medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-specific splicing in GABAergic interneurons using an in vitro embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation system. We also identify a module of exons and candidate regulators specific to long- and short-projection neurons across multiple neuronal classes. This study provides a resource for elucidating splicing-regulatory programs that drive neuronal molecular diversity, including those that do not align with gene-expression-based classifications.
