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 spatial organization of the genome within the nucleus - also known as genome architecture or 3D genome - is important to the regulation of gene expression. Disruption of the 3D genome, for example, by structural variation, can contribute to disease, including developmental disorders and cancer. Structural variants can rearrange higher-order chromatin structures, such as topologically associating domains, and disrupt interactions between cis-regulatory elements, which can lead to altered gene expression, a phenomenon known as position effects. New experimental and computational approaches are revealing the effect of structural variants on the 3D genome and gene expression and can help interpret their pathogenic potential, which has important implications for patients. Here, we review mechanisms of disease caused by position effects owing to disruptions of genome architecture, and more specifically topologically associating domains, as well as their consequences and clinical impact.
