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

Identity-specific chromosome conformation must be re-established at each cell division. To uncover how interphase folding is inherited, we developed an approach that segregates chromosome-intrinsic mechanisms from those propagated through the cytoplasm during G1 nuclear reassembly. Inducible degradation of proteins essential for the establishment of nucleocytoplasmic transport during mitotic exit enabled analysis of folding programmes with distinct modes of inheritance. Here we show that genome compartmentalization is driven entirely by chromosome-intrinsic factors. In addition to conventional compartmental segregation, the chromosome-intrinsic folding programme leads to prominent genome-scale microcompartmentalization of mitotically bookmarked cis-regulatory elements. The microcompartment conformation forms transiently during telophase and is subsequently modulated by a second folding programme inherited through the cytoplasm in early G1. This programme includes cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and factors involved in transcription and RNA processing. The combined and interdependent action of chromosome-intrinsic and cytoplasmic inherited folding programmes determines the interphase chromatin conformation as cells exit mitosis.
