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

The spatiotemporal organization of chromatin influences many nuclear processes: from chromosome segregation to transcriptional regulation. To get a deeper understanding of these processes, it is essential to go beyond static viewpoints of chromosome structures, to accurately characterize chromatin's diffusion properties. We present GP-FBM: a computational framework based on Gaussian processes and fractional Brownian motion to extract diffusion properties from stochastic trajectories of labeled chromatin loci. GP-FBM uses higher-order temporal correlations present in the data, therefore, outperforming existing methods. Furthermore, GP-FBM allows to interpolate incomplete trajectories and account for substrate movement when two or more particles are present. Using our method, we show that average chromatin diffusion properties are surprisingly similar in interphase and mitosis in mouse embryonic stem cells. We observe surprising heterogeneity in local chromatin dynamics, correlating with potential regulatory activity. We also present GP-Tool, a user-friendly graphical interface to facilitate usage of GP-FBM by the research community.
