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

Genome organization is fundamental to all living organisms. Long DNA molecules are organized in hierarchical orders to be accommodated into eukaryotic nuclei or bacterial cells, which are thousands of folds shorter. Over the past two decades, chromosome conformation capture (3C) techniques substantially advanced our understanding of genome folding inside cells. 3C involves crosslinking and proximity ligation, and quantifies the physical contacts between two DNA regions within the genome. Coupled with high-throughput sequencing, 3C-seq and Hi-C techniques detect genome-wide DNA interactions, providing a comprehensive view of global genome organization. Here, we describe a detailed method to prepare Hi-C libraries using Bacillus subtilis, which includes procedures of crosslinking chromatin, digesting the crosslinked genome, labeling DNA ends with biotin, ligating DNA, and preparing the DNA library for sequencing using an Illumina platform.
