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

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) guide RNA scaffolds have been adapted to carry multiple binding sites for fluorescent proteins to enhance brightness for live cell imaging of genomic loci. However, many of these modifications result in guide RNA instability and thus produce lower genome-labeling efficiency than anticipated. Here we introduce CRISPR-Sirius, based on octet arrays of aptamers conferring both enhanced guide RNA stability and brightness, and provide initial biological applications of this platform.
