Using formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements (FAIRE) to isolate active regulatory DNA.
Article in Nature protocols, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 200 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
Eviction or destabilization of nucleosomes from chromatin is a hallmark of functional regulatory elements in eukaryotic genomes. Historically identified by nuclease hypersensitivity, these regulatory elements are typically bound by transcription factors or other regulatory proteins. FAIRE (formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements) is an alternative approach to identify these genomic regions and has proven successful in a multitude of eukaryotic cell and tissue types. Cells or dissociated tissues are cross-linked briefly with formaldehyde, lysed and sonicated. Sheared chromatin is subjected to phenol/chloroform extraction and the isolated DNA, typically encompassing 1-3% of the human genome, is purified. We provide guidelines for quantitative analysis by PCR, microarrays or next-generation sequencing. Regulatory elements enriched by FAIRE have high concordance with those identified by nuclease hypersensitivity or chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and the entire procedure can be completed in 3 d. FAIRE has low technical variability, which allows its usage in large-scale studies of chromatin from normal or diseased tissues.
