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

To infer potential causal relationships between 3D chromatin structure, enhancers, and gene transcription, we mapped each feature in a genome-wide fashion across eight narrowly spaced time points of macrophage activation. Enhancers and genes connected by loops exhibit stronger correlations between histone H3K27 acetylation and expression than can be explained by genomic distance or physical proximity alone. At these looped enhancer-promoter pairs, changes in acetylation at distal enhancers precede changes in gene expression. Changes in gene expression exhibit a directional bias at differential loop anchors; gained loops are associated with increased expression of genes oriented away from the center of the loop, and lost loops are often accompanied by high levels of transcription within the loop boundaries themselves. These results are consistent with a reciprocal relationship where loops can facilitate increased transcription by connecting promoters to distal enhancers, whereas high levels of transcription can impede loop formation.
