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

During interphase, chromosomes are arranged into territories within a highly organized nuclear space containing several compartments. It is becoming clear that this complex nuclear arrangement is important for gene regulation and therefore expression. The study of chromosome organization in interphase requires high-resolution imaging methods that at the same time allow for flexible labelling strategies and preserve nuclear structure. Tokuyasu cryosections of cells or tissues provide a simple, high-resolution platform for performing immunolabelling and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on well-preserved samples. Here we show how FISH performed on thin cryosections (cryo-FISH) can be used for the study of chromosome organization at high resolution and in a quantitative manner. We have measured chromosome intermingling, volume and radial position, in resting and activated human lymphocytes, and observed chromosome-specific differences between the two cellular states. These differences are in part related to the nuclear expansion that occurs during activation, but are also likely to be tied to their different transcriptional profiles. Extrapolation of our dataset to the whole genome suggests that activated cells contain a lower amount of chromatin involved in intermingling than resting cells.
