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 eukaryotic genomes and its dynamics are of functional importance for gene expression, DNA replication, and segregation. Structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes are essential instruments of chromosome folding, enabling long-distance intra-chromatid DNA loops. The interplay between these processes is complex. For instance, cohesin, in addition to tethering sister chromatids, dynamically regulates gene expression in mammals by promoting interactions between distal regulatory elements and promoters, whereas transcription itself affects genome folding in many ways. Here, we comprehensively dissect the relative contributions of transcription and cohesin complexes, as well as their interplay, to yeast S. cerevisiae genome organization. In particular, we show that transcription (1) is not a motor required to push cohesin during DNA loop expansion, (2) specifically induces the appearance of DNA loops independently of SMC complexes, and (3) interferes with cohesin-mediated DNA loop expansion during their establishment.
