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

Stochastic single particle trajectories are used to explore the local chromatin organization. We present here a statistical analysis of the first contact time distributions between two tagged loci recorded experimentally. First, we extract the association and dissociation times from data for various genomic distances between loci, and we show that the looping time occurs in confined nanometer regions. Second, we characterize the looping time distribution for two loci in the presence of multiple DNA damages. Finally, we construct a polymer model, that accounts for the local chromatin organization before and after a double-stranded DNA break (DSB), to estimate the level of chromatin decompaction. This novel passage time statistics method allows extracting transient dynamic at scales varying from one to few hundreds of nanometers, it predicts the local changes in the number of binding molecules following DSB and can be used to characterize the local dynamic of the chromatin.
