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 genome contains numerous regulatory elements that may undergo complex interactions and contribute to the establishment, maintenance, and change of cellular identity. Three-dimensional genome organization can be explored with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) at the single-cell level, but the detection of small genomic loci remains challenging. Here, we provide a rapid and simple protocol for the generation of bright FISH probes suited for the detection of small genomic elements. We systematically optimized probe design and synthesis, screened polymerases for their ability to incorporate dye-labeled nucleotides, and streamlined purification conditions to yield nanoscopy-compatible oligonucleotides with dyes in variable arrays (NOVA probes). With these probes, we detect genomic loci ranging from genome-wide repetitive regions down to non-repetitive loci below the kilobase scale. In conclusion, we introduce a simple workflow to generate densely labeled oligonucleotide pools that facilitate detection and nanoscopic measurements of small genomic elements in single cells.
