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 zebrafish is an increasingly popular model organism for human genetic disease research. CRISPR/Cas9-based approaches are currently used for multiple gene-editing purposes in zebrafish, but few studies have developed reliable ways to introduce precise mutations. Point mutation knock-in using CRISPR/Cas9 and single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODNs) is currently the most promising technology for this purpose. Despite some progress in applying this technique to zebrafish, there is still a great need for improvements in terms of its efficiency, optimal design of sgRNA and ssODNs and broader applicability. The papers discussed in this Editorial provide excellent case studies on identifying problems inherent in the mutation knock-in technique, quantifying these issues and proposing strategies to overcome them. These reports also illustrate how the procedures for introducing specific mutations can be straightforward, such that ssODNs with only the target mutation are sufficient for generating the intended knock-in animals. Two of the studies also develop interesting point mutant knock-in models for cardiac diseases, validating the translational relevance of generating knock-in mutations and opening the door to many possibilities for their further study.
