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

backgroundPromoters serve as key elements in the regulation of gene transcription. In mammals, loop interactions between promoters and enhancers increase the complexity of the promoter-based regulatory networks. However, the identification of enhancer-promoter or promoter-related loops in Arabidopsis remains incomplete.

resultsHere, we use promoter capture Hi-C to identify promoter-related loops in Arabidopsis, which shows that gene body, proximal promoter, and intergenic regions can interact with promoters, potentially functioning as distal regulatory elements or enhancers. We find that promoter-related loops mainly repress gene transcription and are associated with ordered chromatin structures, such as topologically associating domains and fountains-chromatin structures not previously identified in Arabidopsis. Cohesin binds to the center of fountains and is involved in their formation. Moreover, fountain strength is positively correlated with the number of promoter-related loops, and the maintenance of these loops is linked to H3K4me3. In atxr3 mutants, which lack the major H3K4me3 methyltransferases in Arabidopsis, the number of promoter-related loops at fountains is reduced, leading to upregulation of fountain-regulated genes.

conclusionsWe identify promoter-related loops associated with ordered chromatin structures and reveal the molecular mechanisms involved in fountain formation and maintenance.
