Rapid high-resolution measurement of DNA replication timing by droplet digital PCR.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Genomes are replicated in a reproducible temporal pattern. Current methods for assaying allele replication timing are time consuming and/or expensive. These include high-throughput sequencing which can be used to measure DNA copy number as a proxy for allele replication timing. Here, we use droplet digital PCR to study DNA replication timing at multiple loci in budding yeast and human cells. We establish that the method has temporal and spatial resolutions comparable to the high-throughput sequencing approaches, while being faster than alternative locus-specific methods. Furthermore, the approach is capable of allele discrimination. We apply this method to determine relative replication timing across timing transition zones in cultured human cells. Finally, multiple samples can be analysed in parallel, allowing us to rapidly screen kinetochore mutants for perturbation to centromere replication timing. Therefore, this approach is well suited to the study of locus-specific replication and the screening of cis- and trans-acting mutants to identify mechanisms that regulate local genome replication timing.
