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 organization play a vital role in gene regulation and genome maintenance in normal biological processes and in response to environmental insults. Disruption of chromatin organization imposes a significant effect on many cellular processes and is often associated with a range of pathological processes such as aging and cancer. Extensive attention has been attracted to understand the structural and functional studies of chromatin architecture. Biochemical assays coupled with the state-of-the-art genomic technologies have been traditionally used to probe chromatin architecture. Recent advances in single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) open up new opportunities to directly visualize higher-order chromatin architecture, its compaction status and its functional states at nanometer resolution in the intact cells or tissue. In this review, we will first discuss the recent technical advantages and challenges of using SMLM to image chromatin architecture. Next, we will focus on the recent applications of SMLM for structural and functional studies to probe chromatin architecture in key cellular processes. Finally, we will provide our perspectives on the recent development and potential applications of super-resolution imaging of chromatin architecture in improving our understanding in diseases.
