Spatially resolved chromatin architectures in mammalian brain tissues.
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
Unraveling 3D chromatin architectures is crucial for decoding regulatory programs of development and disease. However, current sequencing-based methods typically profile 3D genome organizations while sacrificing the spatial context of tissues. Here we present spatial high‑throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), a technology that resolves genome-wide chromatin structures directly within tissue sections. Spatial Hi-C could decipher 3D chromatin structures in mouse embryos and brains with high fidelity and reproducibility. In the cerebellum, granular layer subclusters defined by distinct 3D genomes, aligned with anatomical lobules, link chromatin topology to spatial microdomain functions. Furthermore, spatial Hi-C of the adult cortex could reconstruct single-spot 3D chromatin structures at 10-μm resolution, similar to single-cell data. Finally, we found an increasing radial gradient of the short-versus-long chromatin interaction ratio on coronal sections in developing brains, which could track neuronal maturity. In summary, spatial Hi-C establishes a paradigm to investigate spatially resolved chromatin structures and their regulatory functions within complex tissue microenvironments.
