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

Bacterial adaptive immune systems employ clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) along with their CRISPR-associated genes (Cas) to form CRISPR RNA (crRNA)-guided surveillance complexes, which target foreign nucleic acids for destruction. Cas9 is unique in that it is composed of a single polypeptide that utilizes both a crRNA and a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) or a single guide RNA to create double-stranded breaks in sequences complementary to the RNA via the HNH and RuvC nuclease domains. Cas9 has become a revolutionary tool for gene-editing applications. Here, we describe methods for studying the cleavage activities of Cas9. We describe protocols for rapid quench-flow and stopped-flow kinetics and interpretation of the results. The protocols detailed here will be paramount for understanding the mechanistic basis for specificity of this enzyme, especially in efforts to improve accuracy for clinical use.
