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 established consensus sequence for human 5' splice sites masks the presence of two major splice site classes defined by preferential base-pairing potentials with either U5 snRNA loop 1 or the U6 snRNA ACAGA box. The two 5' splice site classes are separable in genome sequences, sensitized by specific genotypes and associated with splicing complexity. The two classes reflect the commitment to 5' splice site usage occurring primarily during 5' splice site transfer to U6 snRNA. Separating the human 5' splice site consensus into its two major constituents can help us understand fundamental features of eukaryote genome architecture and splicing mechanisms and inform treatment design for diseases caused by genetic variation affecting splicing.
