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 human genome is highly dynamic across all scales. At the gene level, chromatin is persistently remodeled and rearranged during active processes such as transcription, replication and DNA repair. At the genome level, chromatin moves in micron-scale domains that break up and re-form over seconds, but the origin of these coherent motions is unknown. Here, we investigate the connection between genomic motions and gene-level activity. Simultaneous mapping of single-gene and genome-wide motions shows that the coupling of gene transcriptional activity to flows of the nearby genome is modulated by chromatin compaction. A motion correlation analysis suggests that a single active gene drives larger-scale motions in low-compaction regions, but high-compaction chromatin drives gene motion regardless of its activity state. By revealing unexpected connections among gene activity, spatial heterogeneities of chromatin and its emergent genome-wide motions, these findings uncover aspects of the genome's spatiotemporal organization that directly impact gene regulation and expression.
