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 (SMC1-SMC3-RAD21) constantly extrudes DNA loops to organize chromosomes into structural domains, pausing and anchoring at specific DNA-bound CTCF molecules. To study the detailed consequences of cohesin loop extrusion, we developed TArgeted Cohesin Loader (TACL) for controlled pan-cellular activation of chromatin loop formation at defined genomic locations in living cells. With TACL, we show that highly complex looping networks can exist, with extruding cohesin complexes that block each other, drive cohesin queuing and induce loop anchoring at nearly all CTCF-bound sites. TACL loops extend upon acute depletion of STAG2, PDS5A or WAPL. Activated cohesin loop extrusion hinders local gene transcription and can alter chromatin accessibility and H3K27ac distribution. TACL shows that the loading/extrusion complex NIPBL-MAU2 can be transported by cohesin to CTCF sites but, together with SMC1, to enhancers in a RAD21-independent manner. TACL thus enables studying the consequences of activated loop extrusion at defined genomic locations.
