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

backgroundMeganucleases are important tools for genome engineering, providing an efficient way to generate DNA double-strand breaks at specific loci of interest. Numerous experimental efforts, ranging from in vivo selection to in silico modeling, have been made to re-engineer meganucleases to target relevant DNA sequences.

resultsHere we present a novel in silico method for designing custom meganucleases that is based on the use of a machine learning approach. We compared it with existing in silico physical models and high-throughput experimental screening. The machine learning model was used to successfully predict active meganucleases for 53 new DNA targets.

conclusionsThis new method shows competitive performance compared with state-of-the-art in silico physical models, with up to a fourfold increase in terms of the design success rate. Compared to experimental high-throughput screening methods, it reduces the number of screening experiments needed by a factor of more than 100 without affecting final performance.
