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

Cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion enables gene regulation by distal enhancers through the establishment of chromosome structure and long-range enhancer-promoter interactions. The best characterized cohesin-related structures, such as topologically associating domains (TADs) anchored at convergent CTCF binding sites, represent static conformations. Consequently, loop extrusion dynamics remain poorly understood. To better characterize static and dynamically extruding chromatin loop structures, we use MNase-based 3D genome assays to simultaneously determine CTCF and cohesin localization as well as the 3D contacts they mediate. Here we present CTCF Analyzer (with) Multinomial Estimation (CAMEL), a tool that identifies CTCF footprints at near base-pair resolution in CTCF MNase HiChiP. We also use Region Capture Micro-C to identify a CTCF-adjacent footprint that is attributed to cohesin occupancy. We leverage this substantial advance in resolution to determine that the fully extruded (CTCF-CTCF loop) state is rare genome-wide with locus-specific variation from ~1-10%. We further investigate the impact of chromatin state on loop extrusion dynamics and find that active regulatory elements impede cohesin extrusion. These findings support a model of topological regulation whereby the transient, partially extruded state facilitates enhancer-promoter contacts that can regulate transcription.
