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

Mutations, serving as the raw materials of evolution, have been extensively utilized to increase the chances of engineering molecules or microbes with tailor-made functions. Global and targeted mutagenesis are two main methods of obtaining various mutations, distinguished by the range of action they can cover. While the former one stresses the mining of novel genetic loci within the whole genomic background, targeted mutagenesis performs in a more straightforward manner, bringing evolutionary escape and error catastrophe under control. In this review, we classify the existing techniques of targeted mutagenesis into two categories in terms of whether the diversity is generated
