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

Almost all protein-coding and long noncoding genes that are transcribed by RNA polymerase II employ cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) for 3' end maturation of their nascent RNAs. More than 70% of human mRNA genes display alternative polyadenylation (APA), resulting in expression of isoforms using different CPA sites (also known as poly(A) sites or PAS). APA isoforms often have distinct mRNA metabolism and/or contain variable coding sequences. PAS mutations and genetic variations have been implicated in a growing number of human pathological conditions, underscoring the importance of PAS for proper gene expression. Here we review approaches that modulate the usage of specific PAS and discuss some of their applications in the context of human diseases. We provide our perspectives on current challenges and future directions of strategies of PAS modulation for studying APA isoforms and perturbing gene expression as a therapeutic modality.
