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

Single cell Hi-C (scHi-C) technologies enable the study of chromatin spatial organization directly from complex tissues at single cell resolution. However, the identification of chromatin loops from single cells is challenging, largely due to the extremely sparse data. Our recently developed SnapHiC pipeline provides the first tool to map chromatin loops from scHi-C data, but it is computationally intensive. Here we introduce SnapHiC2, which adapts a sliding window approximation when imputing missing contacts in each single cell and reduces both memory usage and computational time by 70%. SnapHiC2 can identify 5 Kb resolution chromatin loops with high sensitivity and accuracy and help to suggest target genes for GWAS variants in a cell-type-specific manner. SnapHiC2 is freely available at: https://github.com/HuMingLab/SnapHiC/releases/tag/v0.2.2.
