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

Chromatin is hierarchically organized in human interphase nuclei. Dynamic chromatin interactions are thought to influence gene transcription and cell fate determination. A consensus concept is that genes may form transcription factories within nucleus by spatially interaction. However, it is still not well known whether the function-related genes co-locate in three-dimensional (3D) space for co-transcription. Especially, there is a lack of visualization method that directly reflect the relationship between gene spatial interaction, gene function and co-transcription. In this study, we constructed three kinds of matrices based on gene ontology annotations, high-through chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data and RNA-seq data from twenty human tissues and cell lines. The comparative analysis for gene pairs revealed that 3D genome organization influences gene transcription predominantly at local scale. We found that the local genes within family clusters have similar transcription patterns. We also found that spatial reorganization of a histone gene cluster could control gene transcription. These observations suggest that function-related genes are close in space and activated or repressed together. Our work provided a framework for genome-wide studying the relationship between gene function, co-transcription and spatial interaction.
