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

Cellular function depends on the spatial organization of cells and biomolecules within the tissue microenvironment. Advances in spatial omics have enabled profiling of molecular features such as transcriptome, proteome and epigenome, and there has been rapid progress of imaging-based approaches to study spatial three-dimensional (3D) genome organization. Here we present Spatial-ATAC-Hi-C, a microfluidic‑based platform for genome-wide, spatially resolved joint-profiling of 3D genome organization and chromatin accessibility on tissue slides. Applied to mouse and human brains, Spatial-ATAC-Hi-C revealed distinct chromatin architecture and gene regulatory programs in neuronal and non-neuronal populations in their native tissue context. In glioblastoma and astrocytoma samples, we detected spatially resolved 3D genome alterations, copy number variations and structural variations across tumor regions, revealing clinically relevant oncogenic events and clonal heterogeneity. By co-profiling of genome architecture and chromatin accessibility while preserving tissue architecture, Spatial-ATAC-Hi-C provides a powerful tool for studying spatial gene regulation in human biology and disease.
