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

Super-enhancers are important for controlling and defining the expression of cell-specific genes. With research on human disease and biological processes, human H3K27ac ChIP-seq datasets are accumulating rapidly, creating the urgent need to collect and process these data comprehensively and efficiently. More importantly, many studies showed that super-enhancer-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and transcription factors (TFs) strongly influence human disease and biological processes. Here, we developed a comprehensive human super-enhancer database (SEdb, http://www.licpathway.net/sedb) that aimed to provide a large number of available resources on human super-enhancers. The database was annotated with potential functions of super-enhancers in the gene regulation. The current version of SEdb documented a total of 331 601 super-enhancers from 542 samples. Especially, unlike existing super-enhancer databases, we manually curated and classified 410 available H3K27ac samples from >2000 ChIP-seq samples from NCBI GEO/SRA. Furthermore, SEdb provides detailed genetic and epigenetic annotation information on super-enhancers. Information includes common SNPs, motif changes, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL), risk SNPs, transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs), CRISPR/Cas9 target sites and Dnase I hypersensitivity sites (DHSs) for in-depth analyses of super-enhancers. SEdb will help elucidate super-enhancer-related functions and find potential biological effects.
