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

To understand the regulation of the genome, it is necessary to understand its three-dimensional organization in the nucleus. We investigated the positioning of eight gene loci on four different chromosomes, including the beta-globin gene, in mouse embryonic stem cells and in in vitro differentiated macrophages by fluorescence in situ hybridization on structurally preserved nuclei, confocal microscopy, and 3D quantitative image analysis. We found that gene loci on the same chromosome can significantly differ from each other and from their chromosome territory in their average radial nuclear position. Radial distribution of a given gene locus can change significantly between cell types, excluding the possibility that positioning is determined solely by the DNA sequence. For the set of investigated gene loci, we found no relationship between radial distribution and local gene density, as it was described for human cell nuclei. We did find, however, correlation with other genomic properties such as GC content and certain repetitive elements such as long terminal repeats or long interspersed nuclear elements. Our results suggest that gene density itself is not a driving force in nuclear positioning. Instead, we propose that other genomic properties play a role in determining nuclear chromatin distribution.
