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 interactions are important for gene regulation and cellular specialization. Emerging evidence suggests many-body spatial interactions play important roles in condensing super-enhancer regions into a cohesive transcriptional apparatus. Chromosome conformation studies using Hi-C are limited to pairwise, population-averaged interactions; therefore unsuitable for direct assessment of many-body interactions. We describe a computational model, CHROMATIX, which reconstructs ensembles of single-cell chromatin structures by deconvolving Hi-C data and identifies significant many-body interactions. For a diverse set of highly active transcriptional loci with at least 2 super-enhancers, we detail the many-body functional landscape and show DNase accessibility, POLR2A binding, and decreased H3K27me3 are predictive of interaction-enriched regions.
