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 discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 systems has fueled a rapid expansion of gene editing adoption and has impacted pharmaceutical and biotechnology research substantially. Here, gene editing is used at an industrial scale to identify and validate new biological targets for precision medicines, with functional genomic screening having an increasingly important role. Functional genomic strategies provide a crucial link between observed biological phenomena and the genes that influence and drive those phenomena. Although such studies are not new, the use of CRISPR-Cas9 systems in this arena is providing more robust datasets for target identification and validation. CRISPR-based screening approaches are also useful later in the drug development pipeline for understanding drug resistance and sensitivity ahead of entering clinical trials. This review examines the developing landscape for CRISPR screening technologies within the pharmaceutical industry and explores the next steps for this constantly evolving screening platform.
