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 systems protect prokaryotic cells from invading phages and plasmids by recognizing and cleaving foreign nucleic acid sequences specified by CRISPR RNA spacer sequences. Several CRISPR-Cas systems have been widely used as tool for genetic engineering. In DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas nucleoprotein effector complexes, the CRISPR RNA forms a hybrid with the complementary strand of foreign DNA, displacing the noncomplementary strand to form an R-loop. The DNA interrogation and R-loop formation involve several distinct steps the molecular details of which are not fully understood. This chapter describes a recently developed fluorometric Cas beacon assay that may be used for measuring of specific affinity of various CRISPR-Cas complexes for unlabeled target DNA and model DNA probes. The Cas beacon approach also can provide a sensitive method for monitoring the kinetics of assembly of CRISPR-Cas complexes.
