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

Spatial long-read technologies are becoming increasingly common but lack nanometer- and therefore often single-cell resolution. This leaves the question unanswered of whether spatially variable isoforms represent spatial variability within one cell type or differences in cell-type composition between different regions. Here, we developed Spl-ISO-Seq2 (220nm spot size and 500nm resolution), and the accompanying software packages Spl-IsoQuant-2 and Spl-IsoFind, enabling long-read sequencing using 140 million barcodes compared to 80,000 previously. Applying this to the adult mouse brain, we compared spatial variability by examining (a) differential isoform abundance between known brain regions and (b) spatial isoform patterns that do not align with predefined regions. While the former revealed more spatial isoform differences, both approaches identified overlapping hits, e.g.,
