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

Genome-editing techniques enable the generation of gene knockouts in various mammalian cell lines. However, it remains technically challenging to completely disrupt a targeted gene using a canonical method in a timely manner. To improve the efficiency of producing reliable genomic modifications, we designed a method using a linear donor fragment containing a reporter system. Combined with a homologous recombination-independent knock-in strategy, we successfully enriched those cell clones that specifically carry the target gene mutations. We observed a much improved success rate when generating single- and multiple-gene knockouts in a one-step procedure using this special protocol coupled with the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This new approach further empowers the molecular biological study of genes and their functions.
