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 epigenetic control of gene expression is highly cell-type and context specific. Yet, despite its complexity, gene regulatory logic can be broken down into modular components consisting of a transcription factor (TF) activating or repressing the target gene expression through its binding to a cis-regulatory region. We propose a nonparametric approach, TRIPOD, to detect and characterize the three-way relationships between a TF, its target gene, and the accessibility of the TF's binding site using single-cell RNA and ATAC multiomic data. We apply TRIPOD to interrogate the cell-type-specific regulatory logic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and contrast our results to detections from enhancer databases, cis-eQTL studies, ChIP-seq experiments, and TF knockdown/knockout studies. We then apply TRIPOD to mouse embryonic brain data and identify regulatory relationships, validated by ChIP-seq and PLAC-seq. Finally, we demonstrate TRIPOD on the SHARE-seq data of differentiating mouse hair follicle cells and identify lineage-specific regulation supported by histone marks and super-enhancer annotations. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the supplemental information.
