Decoding chromatin-associated RNA (caRNA) interaction networks: from genome-wide dynamic capture to epigenetic mechanisms in plants and animals.
Review in Epigenetics, 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
Chromatin-associated RNAs (caRNAs) serve as central hubs for regulation within the cell nucleus and are involved in key biological processes such as transcriptional homeostasis, chromatin remodeling, and transgenerational inheritance. In recent years, the development of various genome-wide RNA-chromatin interaction capture technologies has made it possible to resolve the spatial interaction networks between caRNAs and chromatin with high precision. This paper systematically reviews the concepts, functions, and interaction patterns of caRNA, and provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, characteristics, technical biases, and applicable scenarios in the fields of targeted and non-targeted identification technologies. Building on this foundation, this paper conducts a comparative analysis of caRNA regulatory mechanisms in animals and plants across four functional dimensions: the organization of three-dimensional chromatin topology, RNA modification-mediated epigenetic regulatory switches, the transmission of environmental and transgenerational signals, and the pathological mechanisms associated with caRNA network dysregulation. Through this comparative analysis, this paper reveals the common characteristics of caRNA-mediated functional regulation in animals and plants, as well as lineage-specific adaptive strategies, and discusses the challenges and future directions in this field regarding single-cell resolution, AI-assisted data analysis, and translational applications.
