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

Known to regulate chromosome looping on a genome-wide scale, the noncoding Jpx RNA was originally shown to control X chromosome counting and induce Xist expression during X chromosome inactivation (XCI). Not fully understood is how Jpx upregulates Xist in coordination with Tsix downregulation in cis. Here, by integrating epigenomic data and polymer modeling in a mouse embryonic stem cell model, we demonstrate that Jpx controls architectural and transcriptional dynamics within anti- and pro-XCI zones of the X-inactivation center. Distinct topological changes occur on the future active X (Xa) and inactive X (Xi) chromosomes. Jpx binds the enhancer of Tsix on the future Xi and alters loop formation to favor Xist induction, coordinately releasing CTCF from Tsix and Xist in cis on the future Xi. Thus, by controlling a dynamic rewiring of functional loops, Jpx flips a transcriptional switch to control mutually exclusive Tsix and Xist expression in cis.
