Beyond genomic weaving: molecular roles for CTCF outside cohesin loop extrusion.
Review in Current opinion in genetics & development, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a key regulator of 3D genome organization and transcriptional activity. Beyond its well-characterized role in facilitating cohesin-mediated loop extrusion, CTCF exhibits several cohesin-independent activities relevant to chromatin structure and various nuclear processes. These functions include patterning of nucleosome arrangement and chromatin accessibility through interactions with ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers. In addition to influencing transcription, DNA replication, and DNA repair in ways that are separable from its role in loop extrusion, CTCF also interacts with RNA and contributes to RNA splicing and condensation of transcriptional activators. Here, we review recent insight into cohesin-independent activities of CTCF, highlighting its multifaceted roles in chromatin biology and transcriptional regulation.
