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

Studies of post-replicative chromatin exclusively focus on the kinetics of protein binding after DNA replication to understand maintenance of transcriptional programs. Here we investigated both chromatin-bound factors and the three-dimensional architecture of the post-replicative genome in human cells. We found that transcription factors and chromatin looping proteins rapidly associate with nascent DNA. We discovered that the architectural factors, CTCF and YY1, bind to their target sequences immediately following DNA replication, and that chromatin loops from 39 to 425 kb re-form within 10 min of DNA replication. This suggests that the 3D structure of chromatin is at most briefly disrupted by DNA replication and quickly restores following replisome passage, providing insight into an unaddressed question of the structure of post-replicated chromatin. Our results suggest that all components of the transcriptional network and tertiary chromatin structure are restored shortly after replication, which is consistent with previously detected fast resumption of transcription on daughter DNA strands.
