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

3C-based methods have significantly advanced our understanding of 3D genome organization. However, it remains a formidable task to precisely capture long-range chromosomal interactions between individual loci, such as those between promoters and distal enhancers. Here, we present Methyltransferase Targeting-based chromosome Architecture Capture (MTAC), a method that maps the contacts between a target site (viewpoint) and the rest of the genome in budding yeast with high resolution and sensitivity. MTAC detects hundreds of intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions within nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) that cannot be captured by 4C, Hi-C, or Micro-C. By applying MTAC to various viewpoints, we find that (1) most long-distance chromosomal interactions detected by MTAC reflect tethering by the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), (2) genes co-regulated by methionine assemble into inter-chromosomal clusters near NPCs upon activation, (3) mediated by condensin, the mating locus forms a highly specific interaction with the recombination enhancer (RE) in a mating-type specific manner, and (4) correlation of MTAC signals among NDRs reveal spatial mixing and segregation of the genome. Overall, these results demonstrate MTAC as a powerful tool to resolve fine-scale long-distance chromosomal interactions and provide insights into the 3D genome organization.
