Tissue- and expression level-specific chromatin looping at maize b1 epialleles.
Article in The Plant cell, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 76 papers.
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.
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
This work examines the involvement of chromatin looping in the transcriptional regulation of two epialleles of the maize (Zea mays) b1 gene, B-I and B'. These two epialleles are tissue-specifically regulated and are involved in paramutation. B-I and B' are expressed at high and low levels, respectively. A hepta-repeat approximately 100 kb upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) is required for both paramutation and high b1 expression. Using chromosome conformation capture, we show that the hepta-repeat physically interacts with the TSS region in a tissue- and expression level-specific manner. Multiple repeats are required to stabilize this interaction. High b1 expression is mediated by a multiloop structure; besides the hepta-repeat, other sequence regions physically interact with the TSS as well, and these interactions are epiallele- and expression level-specific. Formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements uncovered multiple interacting regions as potentially regulatory.
