CRESCENT, a comprehensive RNA-Seq expression, splicing, and coding/non-coding element network tool.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTraditional short-read RNA-Seq analysis pipelines predominantly focus on protein-coding genes, often overlooking other genomic sequences such as transposable elements (TEs) and non-coding RNA dynamics and do not usually investigate splicing events or transcript usage. To fully capture the complexity of the transcriptome, and in particular transcriptomic regulation, it is crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach that integrates these diverse aspects, providing a more complete and nuanced understanding of expression dynamics in the studied organism.
resultsTo address these limitations, we present CRESCENT (Comprehensive RNA-seq Expression, Splicing, and Coding/non-coding Element Network Tool), a Snakemake workflow capable of performing a fully automated and comprehensive RNA-Seq analysis. CRESCENT integrates multiple tools at each step of the workflow and enables analysis of differential expression, differential alternative splicing, differential transcript usage, and gene ontology-based functional enrichment for all three. The workflow takes advantage of multiple Snakemake wrappers to minimize required installations for the user, integrating the latest versions of popular bioinformatic tools. It can be run for a complete analysis or for only a specific part in accordance with the configuration file provided by the user. The CRESCENT workflow was validated, demonstrating the pipeline's reliability, as differentially expressed protein-coding genes, TEs and differential alternative splicing events were consistent with previously published datasets. Finally, benchmarking CRESCENT performance indicated that it can be run on a personal computer or a remote server, including a high-performance computing cluster, allowing a user to process small single-end sequencing on species possessing a small genome like Arabidopsis thaliana to very large paired-end sequencing on polyploid species like wheat. CONCLUSION AND AVAILABILITY: CRESCENT is a scalable solution for comprehensive transcriptomic profiling. It is freely available at https://github.com/gilless429/crescent .
