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

Nuclear RNA and the act of transcription have been implicated in nuclear organization. However, their global contribution to shaping fundamental features of higher-order chromatin organization such as topologically associated domains (TADs) and genomic compartments remains unclear. To investigate these questions, we perform genome-wide chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) analysis in the presence and absence of RNase before and after crosslinking, or a transcriptional inhibitor. TAD boundaries are largely unaffected by RNase treatment, although a subtle disruption of compartmental interactions is observed. In contrast, transcriptional inhibition leads to weaker TAD boundary scores. Collectively, our findings demonstrate differences in the relative contribution of RNA and transcription to the formation of TAD boundaries detected by the widely used Hi-C methodology.
