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

Transcriptome annotations remain incomplete despite enormous efforts. Annotations are largely driven by experimental data, whereas little is understood from an evolutionary perspective. Here we present TENNIS, a model for isoform representation and inference. TENNIS models isoforms in a transcript group as nodes of a connected graph, in which the edges represent basic alternative splicing events, and predicts missing isoforms using a novel algorithm. Our analysis indicates that approximately 80% of the analyzed isoform groups satisfy our model, whereas the identified missing transcripts show high accuracy. TENNIS achieves these results without using additional sequencing data, offering insights into alternative splicing and a powerful tool for constructing annotations.
