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

The CRISPR-Cas system has rapidly reached a huge popularity as a new, powerful method for precise DNA editing and genome reengineering. In Synthetic Biology, the CRISPR-Cas type II system has inspired the construction of a novel class of RNA-based transcription factors. In their simplest form, they are made of a CRISPR RNA molecule, which targets a promoter sequence, and a deficient Cas9 (i.e. deprived of any nuclease activity) that has been fused to an activation or a repression domain. Up- and downregulation of single genes in mammalian and yeast cells have been achieved with satisfactory results. Moreover, the construction of CRISPR-based transcription factors is much simpler than the assembly of synthetic proteins such as the Transcription Activator-Like effectors. However, the feasibility of complex synthetic networks fully based on the CRISPR-dCas9 technology has still to be proved and new designs, which take into account different CRISPR types, shall be investigated.
