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 human genome is arranged in the cell nucleus nonrandomly, and phase separation has been proposed as an important driving force for genome organization. However, the cell nucleus is an active system, and the contribution of nonequilibrium activities to phase separation and genome structure and dynamics remains to be explored. We simulated the genome using an energy function parametrized with chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data with the presence of active, nondirectional forces that break the detailed balance. We found that active forces that may arise from transcription and chromatin remodeling can dramatically impact the spatial localization of heterochromatin. When applied to euchromatin, active forces can drive heterochromatin to the nuclear envelope and compete with passive interactions among heterochromatin that tend to pull them in opposite directions. Furthermore, active forces induce long-range spatial correlations among genomic loci beyond single chromosome territories. We further showed that the impact of active forces could be understood from the effective temperature defined as the fluctuation-dissipation ratio. Our study suggests that nonequilibrium activities can significantly impact genome structure and dynamics, producing unexpected collective phenomena.
