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

Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms underlying the development of different brain regions in humans is essential for understanding advanced cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the spatiotemporal organization of three-dimensional (3D) chromatin structure and its regulatory functions across different brain regions remain poorly understood. Here, we generated an atlas of high-resolution 3D chromatin structure across six developing human brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex (PFC), primary visual cortex (V1), cerebellum (CB), subcortical corpus striatum (CS), thalamus (TL), and hippocampus (HP), spanning gestational weeks 11-26. We found that the spatial and temporal dynamics of 3D chromatin organization play a key role in regulating brain region development. We also identified H3K27ac-marked super-enhancers as key contributors to shaping brain region-specific 3D chromatin structures and gene expression patterns. Finally, we uncovered hundreds of neuropsychiatric GWAS SNP-linked genes, shedding light on critical molecules in various neuropsychiatric disorders. In summary, our findings provide important insights into the 3D chromatin regulatory mechanisms governing brain region-specific development and can serve as a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.
