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 Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is a representative bivalve mollusc that is widely cultured in the world. In recent years, it has become an important model species for ecological, evolutionary, and developmental studies because of its ability to survive in extreme environmental conditions as a sessile filter feeder and its classical mosaic pattern of development. Although the complete genome sequence of C. gigas is available and omics data have been rapidly generated for the past few years, the genetic tools for gene functional studies have thus far been limited to RNA interference technology. In this study, we developed a gene editing system for C. gigas based on CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes. Two candidate genes, myostatin (MSTN) and Twist, were selected as targets. After microinjecting CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes into fertilized eggs, CRISPR-induced indel mutations were detected in the target genes. The CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutations were predominantly small indel mutations ranging in size from 1 to 24 bp in these two target genes. These results demonstrate that CRISPR/Cas9 can be successfully used as an effective targeted gene editing system in C. gigas. The method reported here provides a powerful tool for gene functional studies in oysters and other marine bivalves, and potentially as a new technology for genetic engineering to improve oyster traits for aquaculture.
