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

Hi-C is a genome-wide assay based on Chromosome Conformation Capture and high-throughput sequencing to decipher 3D chromatin organization in the nucleus. However, computational methods to detect functional interactions utilizing Hi-C data face challenges including the correction for various sources of biases and the identification of functional interactions with low counts of interacting fragments. We present Chrom-Lasso, a lasso linear regression model that removes complex biases assumption-free and identifies functional interacting loci with increased power by combining information of local reads distribution surrounding the area of interest. We showed that interacting regions identified by Chrom-Lasso are more enriched for 5C validated interactions and functional GWAS hits than that of GOTHiC and Fit-Hi-C. To further demonstrate the ability of Chrom-Lasso to detect interactions of functional importance, we performed time-series Hi-C and RNA-seq during T cell activation and exhaustion. We showed that the dynamic changes in gene expression and chromatin interactions identified by Chrom-Lasso were largely concordant with each other. Finally, we experimentally confirmed Chrom-Lasso's finding that Erbb3 was co-regulated with distinct neighboring genes at different states during T cell activation. Our results highlight Chrom-Lasso's utility in detecting weak functional interaction between cis-regulatory elements, such as promoters and enhancers.
