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

Sequence-based deep learning has advanced genome interpretation, yet most models remain task-specific and rely on retraining, limiting scalability across biological contexts. Here we present SUCCEED, a supervised multi-task DNA foundation model pretrained on 6,389 ENCODE functional genomics tracks to learn transferable regulatory representations. By integrating convolutional layers with a Transformer architecture, SUCCEED captures both local sequence motifs and long-range regulatory dependencies, achieving performance comparable to or exceeding Enformer across benchmark tasks. Through transfer learning, it predicts cell-type-specific epigenomic profiles, denoises sparse chromatin accessibility signals, and predicts three-dimensional chromatin contacts without CTCF input across data scales and cell types. Across diverse genomics tasks, SUCCEED performs comparably to supervised foundation models such as Sei and outperforms self-supervised models trained solely on DNA sequence. Overall, SUCCEED is a transferable and scalable foundation model that provides a unified framework for genome-scale regulatory modeling in complex biological contexts.
