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 spatial organization (interactome) plays a critical role in genome function. Deep understanding of chromatin interactome can shed insights into transcriptional regulation mechanisms and human disease pathology. One essential task in the analysis of chromatin interactomic data is to identify long-range chromatin interactions. Existing approaches, such as HiCCUPS, FitHiC/FitHiC2, and FastHiC, are all designed for analyzing individual cell types or samples. None of them accounts for unbalanced sequencing depths and heterogeneity among multiple cell types or samples in a unified statistical framework. To fill in the gap, we have developed a novel statistical framework MUNIn (multiple-sample unifying long-range chromatin-interaction detector) for identifying long-range chromatin interactions from multiple samples. MUNIn adopts a hierarchical hidden Markov random field (H-HMRF) model, in which the status (peak or background) of each interacting chromatin loci pair depends not only on the status of loci pairs in its neighborhood region but also on the status of the same loci pair in other samples. To benchmark the performance of MUNIn, we performed comprehensive simulation studies and real data analysis and showed that MUNIn can achieve much lower false-positive rates for detecting sample-specific interactions (33.1%-36.2%), and much enhanced statistical power for detecting shared peaks (up to 74.3%), compared to uni-sample analysis. Our data demonstrated that MUNIn is a useful tool for the integrative analysis of interactomic data from multiple samples.
