PolyA_DB v4: systematic polyA site identification and isoform annotation in human and mouse genomes using 3' end and long-read sequencing data.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The cleavage and polyadenylation site (PAS) defines the 3' end of almost all protein-coding and long non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes. Most genes harbor multiple PAS, resulting in expression of alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms. Here, we present PolyA_DB version 4 (https://exon.apps.wistar.org/polya_db/v4/), an updated database dedicated to PAS in mammalian genomes. By exhaustive mining of human and mouse transcriptomic data sets generated by the 3' region extraction and deep sequencing plus (3'READS+) method, corresponding to ∼2.3 billion PAS-supporting reads for each species, we identify ∼1.4 million PAS in both human and mouse genomes, increasing PAS coverage over the last database version by 4.9- and 3.5-fold, respectively. Of the full PAS set (named Max collection), 20% of them match the transcript end sites (TES) of public long-read RNA sequencing (LR-RNA-seq) data. Notably, ∼10%-20% of LR-RNA-seq TES do not match our annotated PAS, suggesting 3' end artifacts derived plausibly from internal A-rich regions of RNA. However, LR-RNA-seq data substantially complement RefSeq-based assignment of PAS to genes and are highly valuable in subtyping APA events in the context of splicing configuration. PolyA_DB v4 also contains PAS conservation and PAS strength information and is linked to UCSC Genome Browser for data visualization.
