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 formation of biomolecular condensates in vitro and in vivo has become an increasingly important subject of studies. One particular area of interest is the phase separation of chromatin in the nucleus. However, the interplay of condensed chromatin and chromatin-binding enzymes has barely been studied as of now. Here, we show an optical tweezer-based assay that uses controlled fusion of two condensates to probe the effect of enzymes, such as chromatin remodeling motor proteins, on the fluidity of condensates. The assay provides a powerful tool that enables the study of if and how chromatin-enzyme interactions alter biophysical properties in these dense chromatin condensates.
