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

While human lymphoblastoid cell lines represent a valuable resource for population genetic studies, they have usually been regarded as difficult for CRISPR-mediated genomic editing because of very inefficient DNA transfection and retroviral or lentiviral transduction in these cells, which becomes a substantial problem when multiple constructs need to be co-expressed. Here we describe a protocol using a single-stranded donor oligonucleotide strategy for 'scarless' editing in lymphoblastoid cells, yielding 12/60 (20%) of clones with homology-directed recombination, when rates of <5-10% are frequently typical for many other cell types. The protocol does not require the use of lentiviruses or stable transfection, permitting lymphoblastoid cell lines to be used for CRISPR-mediated genomic targeting and screening in population genetic studies.
