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 contrast between the disruption of genome topology after cohesin loss and the lack of downstream gene expression changes instigates intense debates regarding the structure-function relationship between genome and gene regulation. Here, by analyzing transcriptome and chromatin accessibility at the single-cell level, we discover that, instead of dictating population-wide gene expression levels, cohesin supplies a general function to neutralize stochastic coexpression tendencies of cis-linked genes in single cells. Notably, cohesin loss induces widespread gene coactivation and chromatin co-opening tens of million bases apart in cis. Spatial genome and protein imaging reveals that cohesin prevents gene co-bursting along the chromosome and blocks spatial mixing of transcriptional hubs. Single-molecule imaging shows that cohesin confines the exploration of diverse enhancer and core promoter binding transcriptional regulators. Together, these results support that cohesin arranges nuclear topology to control gene coexpression in single cells.
