Sequence bias in chromatin fragmentation leads to misinterpretation of protein-DNA interactions in vivo.
Article in Genome biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Genome regulation depends on the binding of regulatory proteins to chromatin. V-plots are widely used to assess the binding of transcription factors and other protein complexes to DNA in vivo. However, we show here that V-plots result from the cleavage sequence preferences of the chromatin fragmentation methods and can be generated equally well on naked deproteinised DNA as on chromatin, and on any randomly selected sequence motif in the genome. Our results argue against using chromatin fragmentation methods, combined to previous knowledge of motifs as the only method to map DNA-associated proteins by stacking the end of sequence reads over genomic regions that share a common nucleotide motif.
