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 is a key regulator of three-dimensional genome organization, contributing to gene regulation, recombination, DNA repair and chromosome segregation. Like other members of the evolutionary conserved structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) protein-complex family, cohesin folds DNA through motor-driven loop extrusion. Cohesin has a unique, second activity of genome organization: it physically links sister chromatids together in replicated chromosomes, a process termed sister chromatid cohesion. Sister chromatid cohesion and loop extrusion are mediated by two distinct pools of cohesin, which share common core subunits, but associate with distinct regulatory subunits to interact with chromosomes in fundamentally different ways. In this Review, we discuss how sister chromatid cohesion is established and regulated, and how an interplay between cohesion and chromatin loops organizes replicated chromosomes. We also discuss how cohesion supports chromosome segregation in mitosis and meiosis, and how it contributes to DNA double-strand break repair and age-related oocyte aneuploidy. We outline recent technological advances that provide new opportunities to study cohesion and the conformation of replicated chromosomes, and we provide a perspective on how these tools might be applied to answer fundamental questions in cohesin biology.
