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

We develop the free and open-source model Multi-tissue Splicing (MTSplice) to predict the effects of genetic variants on splicing of cassette exons in 56 human tissues. MTSplice combines MMSplice, which models constitutive regulatory sequences, with a new neural network that models tissue-specific regulatory sequences. MTSplice outperforms MMSplice on predicting tissue-specific variations associated with genetic variants in most tissues of the GTEx dataset, with largest improvements on brain tissues. Furthermore, MTSplice predicts that autism-associated de novo mutations are enriched for variants affecting splicing specifically in the brain. We foresee that MTSplice will aid interpreting variants associated with tissue-specific disorders.
