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 is intricately folded into chromatin compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs) and loops unique to each cell type. How this higher-order genome organization regulates cell fate transition remains elusive. Here we show how a single non-neural progenitor transcription factor, PTF1A, reorchestrates the 3D genome during fibroblast transdifferentiation into neural stem cells (NSCs). Multiomics analyses integrating Hi-C data, PTF1A and CTCF DNA-binding profiles, H3K27ac modification, and gene expression, demonstrate that PTF1A binds to subTAD boundaries subsequently associated with elevated CTCF binding and enhanced boundary insulation, and reorganizes chromatin loops, leading to gene expression changes that drive transdifferentiation into NSCs. Moreover, PTF1A activates enhancers and super-enhancers near low-insulation boundaries and modulates H3K27ac deposition, promoting cell fate transitions. Together, our data implicate an involvement of 3D genome in transcriptional and cell fate alterations, and highlight an essential role for PTF1A in gene expression control and multiscale 3D genome remodeling during cell reprogramming.
