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

ATAC-seq is a fast and sensitive method for the epigenomic profiling of open chromatin and for mapping of transcription factor binding sites [1]. Despite the development of the Omni-ATAC protocol for the profiling of chromatin accessibility in frozen tissues [2], studies in adipose tissue have been restricted due to technical challenges including the high lipid content of adipocytes and reproducibility issues between replicates. Here, we provide a modified Omni-ATAC protocol that achieves high data reproducibility in various tissue types from rat, including adipose and muscle tissues [3].•This protocol describes a methodology that enables chromatin accessibility profiling from snap-frozen rat adipose and muscle tissues.•The technique comprises an optimized bead-based tissue homogenization process that substitutes to Dounce homogenization, reduces variability in the experimental procedure, and is adaptable to various tissue types.•In comparison with the Omni-ATAC protocol, the method described here results in improved ATAC-seq data quality that complies with ENCODE quality standards.
