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

backgroundOur understanding of how the complexity of the wheat genome influences the distribution of chromatin states along the homoeologous chromosomes is limited. Using a differential nuclease sensitivity assay, we investigate the chromatin states of the coding and repetitive regions of the allopolyploid wheat genome.

resultsAlthough open chromatin is found to be significantly enriched around genes, the majority of MNase-sensitive regions are located within transposable elements (TEs). Chromatin of the smaller D genome is more accessible than that of the larger A and B genomes. Chromatin states of different TEs vary among families and are influenced by the TEs' chromosomal position and proximity to genes. While the chromatin accessibility of genes is influenced by proximity to TEs, and not by their position on the chromosomes, we observe a negative chromatin accessibility gradient along the telomere-centromere axis in the intergenic regions, positively correlated with the distance between genes. Both gene expression levels and homoeologous gene expression bias are correlated with chromatin accessibility in promoter regions. The differential nuclease sensitivity assay accurately predicts previously detected centromere locations. SNPs located within more accessible chromatin explain a higher proportion of genetic variance for a number of agronomic traits than SNPs located within more closed chromatin.

conclusionsChromatin states in the wheat genome are shaped by the interplay of repetitive and gene-encoding regions that are predictive of the functional and structural organization of chromosomes, providing a powerful framework for detecting genomic features involved in gene regulation and prioritizing genomic variation to explain phenotypes.
