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 three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome is crucial for gene regulation, with disruptions linked to various diseases. High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (Hi-C) and related technologies have advanced our understanding of 3D genome organization by mapping interactions between distal genomic regions. However, capturing enhancer-promoter interactions at high resolution remains challenging due to the high sequencing depth required. We introduce pC-SAC (probabilistically Constrained Self-Avoiding Chromatin), a novel computational method for producing accurate high-resolution Hi-C matrices from low-resolution data. pC-SAC uses adaptive importance sampling with sequential Monte Carlo to generate ensembles of 3D chromatin chains that satisfy physical constraints derived from low-resolution Hi-C data. Our method achieves over 95% accuracy in reconstructing high-resolution chromatin maps and identifies novel interactions enriched with candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). Benchmarking against state-of-the-art deep learning models demonstrates pC-SAC's performance in both short- and long-range interaction reconstruction. pC-SAC offers a cost-effective solution for enhancing the resolution of Hi-C data, thus enabling deeper insights into 3D genome organization and its role in gene regulation and disease.
