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 three-dimensional genomic structure plays a critical role in gene expression, cellular differentiation, and pathological conditions. It is pivotal to elucidate fine-scale chromatin architectures, especially interactions of regulatory elements, to understand the temporospatial regulation of gene expression. In this study, we report Hi-TrAC as a proximity ligation-free, robust, and sensitive technique to profile genome-wide chromatin interactions at high-resolution among regulatory elements. Hi-TrAC detects chromatin looping among accessible regions at single nucleosome resolution. With almost half-million identified loops, we reveal a comprehensive interaction network of regulatory elements across the genome. After integrating chromatin binding profiles of transcription factors, we discover that cohesin complex and CTCF are responsible for organizing long-range chromatin loops, related to domain formation; whereas ZNF143 and HCFC1 are involved in structuring short-range chromatin loops between regulatory elements, which directly regulate gene expression. Thus, we introduce a methodology to identify a delicate and comprehensive network of cis-regulatory elements, revealing the complexity and a division of labor of transcription factors in organizing chromatin loops for genome organization and gene expression.
