TADShop: systematic benchmarking and identification of topologically associating domains.
Article in Nature methods, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Topologically associating domains (TADs) are structural units of chromatin organization. Their definition and identification rely on computational analyses of chromosome conformation capture data. Here we systematically assessed and compared 43 TAD identification strategies, none of which excelled in all tests, often displaying conflicting results. To benefit from the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of individual tools, we developed a dynamic programming framework to integrate the results of top-performing methods into a consensus list of TADs (ConsensusTAD). ConsensusTAD outperformed individual tools, and it can be applied to integrate results from any set of current or future TAD callers. To facilitate TAD identification and benchmarking, we developed TADShop ( https://tadshop.unil.ch/ ), a web service that enables the comparison and use of TAD callers through an intuitive graphic user interface. By facilitating rigorous benchmarking and adoption of best performing tools, TADShop provides a standardized platform to foster robust and reproducible analyses of chromatin organization.
