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

CRISPR-Cas technologies have greatly reshaped the biology field. In this review, we discuss the CRISPR-Cas with a particular focus on the associated technologies and applications of CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-Cas12a, which have been most widely studied and used. We discuss the biological mechanisms of CRISPR-Cas as immune defense systems, recently-discovered anti-CRISPR-Cas systems, and the emerging Cas variants (such as xCas9 and Cas13) with unique characteristics. Then, we highlight various CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies, including nuclease-dependent genome editing, CRISPR gene regulation (including CRISPR interference/activation), DNA/RNA base editing, and nucleic acid detection. Last, we summarize up-to-date applications of the biotechnologies for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering in various bacterial species.
