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

Canonical three-dimensional (3D) genome structures represent the ensemble average of pairwise chromatin interactions but not the single-allele topologies in populations of cells. Recently developed Pore-C can capture multiway chromatin contacts that reflect regional topologies of single chromosomes. By carrying out high-throughput Pore-C, we reveal extensive but regionally restricted clusters of single-allele topologies that aggregate into canonical 3D genome structures in two human cell types. We show that fragments in multi-contact reads generally coexist in the same TAD. In contrast, a concurrent significant proportion of multi-contact reads span multiple compartments of the same chromatin type over megabase distances. Synergistic chromatin looping between multiple sites in multi-contact reads is rare compared to pairwise interactions. Interestingly, the single-allele topology clusters are cell type-specific even inside highly conserved TADs in different types of cells. In summary, HiPore-C enables global characterization of single-allele topologies at an unprecedented depth to reveal elusive genome folding principles.
