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

Dynamic modifications of chromatin allow rapid access of the gene regulatory machinery to condensed genomic regions facilitating subsequent gene expression. Inflammatory cytokine stimulation of cells can cause rapid gene expression changes through direct signalling pathway-mediated transcription factor activation and regulatory element binding. Here we used the Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) to assess regions of the genome that are differentially accessible following treatment of cells with interleukin-1 (IL-1). We identified 126,483 open chromatin regions, with 241 regions significantly differentially accessible following stimulation, with 64 and 177 more or less accessible, respectively. These differentially accessible regions predominantly correspond to regions of the genome marked as enhancers. Motif searching identified an overrepresentation of a number of transcription factors, most notably RelA, in the regions becoming more accessible, with analysis of ChIP-seq data confirmed RelA binding to these regions. A significant correlation in differential chromatin accessibility and gene expression was also observed. Functionality in regulating gene expression was confirmed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing to delete regions that became more accessible following stimulation in the genes
