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 3D chromatin architecture establishes a complex network of genes and regulatory elements necessary for transcriptomic regulation in development and disease. This network can be modeled by cis-regulatory hubs (CRH), which underscore the local functional interactions between enhancers and promoter regions and differ from other higher-order chromatin structures such as topologically associated domains (TAD). The activity-by-contact (ABC) model of enhancer-promoter regulation has been recently used in the identification of these CRHs, but little is known about the role of transcription factor CCTC binding factor (CTCF) on ABC scores and their consequent impact on CRHs. Here, we show that the loss of CTCF leads to a reorganization of the ABC-derived rankings of putative enhancers in the mouse heart, a global reduction in the total number of CRHs and an increase in the size of CRHs. Furthermore, CTCF loss leads to a higher percentage of CRHs that cross TAD boundaries. These results provide additional evidence to support the importance of CTCF in forming the regulatory networks necessary for gene regulation.
