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

Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion is widely used to profile chromatin accessibility and nucleosome footprinting. However, its application is often limited by sensitivity to reaction conditions, high cell input requirements, and the lack of standardized protocols across cell types. Here, we developed a robust MNase workflow encompassing optimization of buffer composition, DNA purification chemistry, fixation and decrosslinking parameters, cell input scalability, and an in-house yeast spike-in for quantitative normalization. We validated this unified framework across human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes at multiple differentiation stages, as well as in primary isolated murine embryonic cardiac cells and adult mouse cardiomyocytes, and demonstrated comparable digestion efficiencies and kinetics despite marked differences in cellular architecture and chromatin organization. Robust nucleosomal digestion further extended to a panel of 6 unrelated human and mouse immortalized cell lines. Genome-wide MNase-seq in hiPSCs, combined with the
