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

key messageThis review summarises the recent progress in DSB-induced gene targeting by homologous recombination in plants. We are getting closer to efficiently inserting genes or precisely exchanging single amino acids. Although the basic features of double-strand break (DSB)-induced genome engineering were established more than 20 years ago, only in recent years has the technique come into the focus of plant biologists. Today, most scientists apply the recently discovered CRISPR/Cas system for inducing site-specific DSBs in genes of interest to obtain mutations by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which is the prevailing and often imprecise mechanism of DSB repair in somatic plant cells. However, predefined changes like the site-specific insertion of foreign genes or an exchange of single amino acids can be achieved by DSB-induced homologous recombination (HR). Although DSB induction drastically enhances the efficiency of HR, the efficiency is still about two orders of magnitude lower than that of NHEJ. Therefore, significant effort have been put forth to improve DSB-induced HR based technologies. This review summarises the previous studies as well as discusses the most recent developments in using the CRISPR/Cas system to improve these processes for plants.
