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

summaryHigh-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) is a widely used assay for studying the three-dimensional (3D) genome organization across the whole genome. Here, we present PHi-C2, a Python package supported by mathematical and biophysical polymer modeling that converts input Hi-C matrix data into the polymer model's dynamics, structural conformations and rheological features. The updated optimization algorithm for regenerating a highly similar Hi-C matrix provides a fast and accurate optimal solution compared to the previous version by eliminating the factors underlying the inefficiency of the optimization algorithm in the iterative optimization process. In addition, we have enabled a Google Colab workflow to run the algorithm, wherein users can easily change the parameters and check the results in the notebook. Overall, PHi-C2 represents a valuable tool for mining the dynamic 3D genome state embedded in Hi-C data. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: PHi-C2 as the phic Python package is freely available under the GPL license and can be installed from the Python package index. The source code is available from GitHub at https://github.com/soyashinkai/PHi-C2. Moreover, users do not have to prepare a Python environment because PHi-C2 can run on Google Colab (https://bit.ly/3rlptGI). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
