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

The VISTA enhancer database is a valuable resource for evaluating predicted enhancers in humans and mice. In addition to thousands of validated positive regions (VPRs) in the human and mouse genomes, the database also contains similar numbers of validated negative regions (VNRs). It is previously shown that the VPRs are on average half as long as predicted overlapping enhancers that are highly conserved and hypothesize that the VPRs may be truncated forms of long bona fide enhancers. Here, it is shown that like the VPRs, the VNRs also are under strong evolutionary constraints and overlap predicted enhancers in the genomes. The VNRs are also on average half as long as predicted overlapping enhancers that are highly conserved. Moreover, the VNRs and the VPRs display similar cell/tissue-specific modification patterns of key epigenetic marks of active enhancers. Furthermore, the VNRs and the VPRs show similar impact score spectra of in silico mutagenesis. These highly similar properties between the VPRs and the VNRs suggest that like the VPRs, the VNRs may also be truncated forms of long bona fide enhancers.
