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

Diploid human cells contain two non-identical genomes, and differences in their regulation underlie human development and disease. We present Fiber-seq Inferred Regulatory Elements (FIRE) and show that FIRE provides a more comprehensive and quantitative snapshot of the accessible chromatin landscape across the 6 Gbp diploid human genome, overcoming previously known and unknown biases afflicting our existing regulatory element catalog. FIRE provides a comprehensive genome-wide map of haplotype-selective chromatin accessibility (HSCA), exposing novel imprinted elements that lack underlying parent-of-origin CpG methylation differences, common and rare genetic variants that disrupt gene regulatory patterns, gene regulatory modules that enable genes to escape X chromosome inactivation, and autosomal mitotically stable somatic epimutations. We find that the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus harbors the most HSCA in immune cells, and we resolve the specific transcription factor (TF) binding events disrupted by disease-associated variants within the HLA locus. Finally, we demonstrate that the regulatory landscape of a cell is littered with autosomal somatic epimutations that are propagated by clonal expansions to create mitotically stable and non-genetically deterministic chromatin alterations.
