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

The fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 gene contains a pair of alternative exons, K-SAM and BEK, which are spliced in a cell type specific manner. We have shown previously that a 10 nucleotide sequence within the K-SAM exon exerts a negative effect on K-SAM exon splicing independent of cell type. We demonstrate here that this sequence works autonomously, as it can repress splicing of a heterologous exon, the EIIIb alternative exon of the rat fibronectin gene. By introducing point mutations into the 10 nucleotide sequence, we have shown that the functional portion is limited to 4 nucleotides, TAGG, the dinucleotide AG of which is particularly important. This short sequence may participate in the control of splicing of exons carrying it, provided that they carry weak splice sites.
