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

Genomic manipulation is essential to the use of model organisms to understand development, regeneration and adult physiology. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a type of salamander, exhibits an unparalleled regenerative capability in a spectrum of complex tissues and organs, and therefore serves as a powerful animal model for dissecting mechanisms of regeneration. We describe here an optimized stepwise protocol to create genetically modified axolotls using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The protocol, which takes 7-8 weeks to complete, describes generation of targeted gene knockouts and knock-ins and includes site-specific integration of large targeting constructs. The direct use of purified CAS9-NLS (CAS9 containing a C-terminal nuclear localization signal) protein allows the prompt formation of guide RNA (gRNA)-CAS9-NLS ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, which accelerates the creation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) at targeted genomic loci in single-cell-stage axolotl eggs. With this protocol, a substantial number of F
