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

Chromatin accessibility is important for genome architecture and gene expression in plants. In this study, the ATAC-seq method was utilized to identify accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) across the chickpea (Cicer arietinum) genome, an important legume crop cultivated worldwide. A total of 11,555 ACRs were identified in the chickpea genome, enriched at gene transcription start sites (TSS) and positively correlated with gene expression. Furthermore, as expected, a number of known transcription factor (TF) binding motifs were enriched in these ACRs. Integration of histone modification data, ACRs were found to be closely associated with H3K27ac and H3K4me3 modifications to regulate gene expression. In addition, the gain and loss of ACRs has been demonstrated to have significant effects on the expression of homologous genes. Collectively, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the genomic function of ACRs in chickpea.
