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

RNA modifications play a crucial role in various cellular functions. Here, we present ModiDeC, a deep-learning-based classifier able to identify and distinguish multiple RNA modifications (N6-methyladenosine, inosine, pseudouridine, 2'-O-methylguanosine, and N1-methyladenosine) using direct RNA sequencing. Alongside ModiDeC, we provide an extensive database of in vitro-transcribed and synthetic sequences generated with both the new RNA004 chemistry and the old RNA002 kit. We show that RNA modifications can be accurately recognized and distinguished across different sequence motifs using synthetic data as well as in HEK293T cells and human blood samples. ModiDeC comes with a graphical user interface and an Epi2ME pipeline that allows easy customization and adaptation to specific research questions, such as learning and classifying additional RNA modifications and further sequence motifs. The reproducibility across samples, together with the low rate of false positives, underscores the potential of ModiDeC as a powerful tool for advancing the analysis of the epitranscriptome and RNA modification.
