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 spatial segregation of the genome into compartments is a major feature of 3D genome organization. New data on mammalian chromosome organization across different conditions reveal important information about how and why these compartments form and change. A combination of epigenetic state, nuclear body tethering, physical forces, gene expression, and replication timing (RT) can all influence the establishment and alteration of chromosome compartments. We review the causes and implications of genomic regions undergoing a 'compartment switch' that changes their physical associations and spatial location in the nucleus. About 20-30% of genomic regions change compartment during cell differentiation or cancer progression, whereas alterations in response to a stimulus within a cell type are usually much more limited. However, even a change in 1-2% of genomic bins may have biologically relevant implications. Finally, we review the effects of compartment changes on gene regulation, DNA damage repair, replication, and the physical state of the cell.
