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

Long-read RNA sequencing has transformed transcriptome analysis by enabling comprehensive mapping of full-length transcripts, providing an unprecedented resolution of transcript diversity, alternative splicing and transcript-specific regulation. In this study, we employed nanopore long-read RNA sequencing to profile the transcriptomes of three cell types commonly used to model brain disorders, human fibroblasts, induced pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-derived cortical neurons, identifying extensive transcript diversity with 15 072 transcripts in stem cell-derived cortical neurons, 13 048 in fibroblasts and 12 759 in induced pluripotent stem cells. Our analyses uncovered 35 519 differential transcript expression events and 5135 differential transcript usage events, underscoring the complexity of transcriptomic regulation across these cell types. Importantly, by integrating differential transcript expression and usage analyses, we gained deeper insights into transcript dynamics that are not captured by gene-level expression analysis alone. Differential transcript usage analysis highlighted transcript-specific changes in disease-relevant genes such as
