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

Existing methods to visualize dynamic changes in the three-dimensional genome, promoter-enhancer interactions and the influence of epigenetic modifications in non-repetitive loci are limited. Here we introduce CRISPR PRO-LiveFISH (Pooled gRNAs with Orthogonal bases LiveFISH), which combines orthogonal bases from expanded genetic alphabet technology and rational single guide RNA (sgRNA) design to efficiently label multiple non-repetitive loci in living cells. The optimized method allows simultaneous imaging of up to six genomic loci and uses as few as 10 sgRNAs for non-repetitive loci imaging without signal amplification. We demonstrate the method in diverse cell types, including primary cells, and apply it to reveal enhancer-promoter dynamics and a correlation between genomic dynamics and epigenetic states. We also show that PCDHα-enhancer interactions may persist despite spatial mobility and that BRD4 maintains super-enhancer contacts regulating MYC oncogene expression in cancer cells. CRISPR PRO-LiveFISH can be applied to diverse studies of chromatin dynamics and genome organization in living cells.
