Chromatin interaction maps of human arterioles reveal mechanisms for the genetic regulation of blood pressure.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Arterioles are small blood vessels located just upstream of capillaries in nearly all tissues. Despite the broad and essential role of arterioles in physiology and disease, current knowledge of the functional genomics of arterioles is largely absent. Here, we report extensive maps of chromatin interactions, single-cell expression, and other molecular features in human arterioles and uncover mechanisms linking human genetic variants to gene expression in vascular cells and the development of hypertension. Compared to large arteries, arterioles exhibited a higher proportion of pericytes which were enriched for blood pressure (BP)-associated genes. BP-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were enriched in chromatin interaction regions in arterioles. We linked BP-associated noncoding SNP rs1882961 to gene expression through long-range chromatin contacts and revealed remarkable effects of a 4-bp noncoding genomic segment on hypertension in vivo. We anticipate that our data and findings will advance the study of the numerous diseases involving arterioles.
