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

Splicing of pre-mRNA can result in multiple possible mRNA isoforms per gene due to alternative splicing. The frequency at which individual isoforms occur depends on the intrinsic splicing kinetics of the pre-mRNA as well as intracellular chemical conditions. Computational modeling can potentially provide a platform to rapidly assess how variations in intracellular and environmental conditions, for example differential levels of regulatory splicing proteins, affect kinetics and resulting mRNA isoforms. Overcoming the vast combinatoric possibilities of splicing, however, has remained a significant challenge in modeling its kinetics. Here we report the development of a stochastic kinetic model of splicing that is extensible to most protein-coding genes in the human genome. Our model allows for variations in site-specific reaction rates as well as the ability to introduce additional splicing factors. We experimentally validate the predictive capability of our computational model by exploring the spliced isoform ratio of a target gene (
