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

summaryExisting tools for RNA epitranscriptomic modification and structural signal analysis are often fragmented, inefficiency, and limited to single signal types. We developed Modtector, an unified tool for extracting mutation and reverse-transcription stop signals from aligned sequencing reads. By using a "count-then-correct" strategy, Modtector reduces computational complexity and enables efficient dual-signal analysis. It achieves multi-fold speedups on large-genome and high-coverage datasets, including completing HEK293 22G data analysis in 5 minutes, and show strong scalability on single-cell datasets with speedups exceeding 50-fold. AVAILABILITY: The source code is available at GitHub (https://github.com/TongZhou2017/modtector) and Crates.io (https://crates.io/crates/modtector). The archived source-code snapshot used in this study is available at Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20967747), corresponding to GitHub commit 7c60e9d. Workflow examples, datasets, and analysis scripts are available at Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17316476 and 10.5281/zenodo.18523297).
