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 dynamic three-dimensional spatial conformations of chromosomes demonstrate complex structural variations across single cells, which plays pivotal roles in modulating single-cell specific transcription and epigenetics landscapes. The high rates of missing contacts in single-cell chromatin contact maps impose significant challenges to reconstruct high-resolution spatial chromatin configurations. We develop a data-driven algorithm, Tensor-FLAMINGO, based on a low-rank tensor completion strategy. Implemented on a diverse panel of single-cell chromatin datasets, Tensor-FLAMINGO generates 10kb- and 30kb-resolution spatial chromosomal architectures across individual cells. Tensor-FLAMINGO achieves superior accuracy in reconstructing 3D chromatin structures, recovering missing contacts, and delineating cell clusters. The unprecedented high-resolution characterization of single-cell genome folding enables expanded identification of single-cell specific long-range chromatin interactions, multi-way spatial hubs, and the mechanisms of disease-associated GWAS variants. Beyond the sparse 2D contact maps, the complete 3D chromatin conformations promote an avenue to understand the dynamics of spatially coordinated molecular processes across different cells.
