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

Background: Structural variants (SVs) that disrupt topologically associating domains (TADs) can cause disease by rewiring enhancer-promoter interactions. Duplications involving Methods: We evaluated POSTRE, a tool designed to predict the regulatory impact of SVs, to distinguish pathogenic from benign Results: POSTRE correctly classified all 33 duplications as benign or pathogenic. In addition, one X-LAG case with mild clinical features (e.g., severe GH hypersecretion in the absence of pituitary tumorigenesis) was found to include only 2/5 Conclusions: These findings support the utility of POSTRE to support diagnostic pipelines when interpreting SVs affecting chromatin architecture in pituitary disease. By accurately modelling enhancer adoption in a cell type-specific context, POSTRE could help to reduce uncertainty in genetic counselling and offers a rapid alternative to performing chromatin conformation capture experiments.
