Uniform dynamics of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion in living human cells.
Article in Nature genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Most animal genomes are partitioned into topologically associating domains (TADs), created by cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and defined by convergently oriented CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) sites. The dynamics of loop extrusion and its regulation remain poorly characterized in vivo. Here we tracked the motion of TAD anchors in living human cells to visualize and quantify cohesin-dependent loop extrusion across multiple endogenous genomic regions. We show that TADs are dynamic structures whose anchors are brought in proximity about once per hour and for 6-19 min (~16% of the time). Moreover, TADs are continuously extruded by multiple cohesin complexes. Remarkably, despite strong differences in Hi-C patterns across chromatin regions, their dynamics is consistent with the same density, residence time and speed of cohesin. Our results suggest that TAD dynamics is primarily governed by the location and affinity of CTCF sites, enabling genome-wide predictive models of cohesin-dependent chromatin interactions.
