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

We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from 'telomere-to-telomere' (T2T). This technological advance offers a new opportunity to include endogenous human centromeric regions in high-resolution, sequence-based studies. These emerging reference maps are expected to reveal a new functional landscape in the human genome, where centromere proteins, transcriptional regulation, and spatial organization can be examined with base-level resolution across different stages of development and disease. Such studies will depend on innovative assembly methods of extremely long tandem repeats (ETRs), or satellite DNAs, paired with the development of new, orthogonal validation methods to ensure accuracy and completeness. This review reflects the progress in centromere genomics, credited by recent advancements in long-read sequencing and assembly methods. In doing so, I will discuss the challenges that remain and the promise for a new period of scientific discovery for satellite DNA biology and centromere function.
