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

Inconsistent activity limits the use of CRISPR-Cas9 in zebrafish. We show supernumerary guanine nucleotides at the 5' ends of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) account for diminished CRISPR-Cas9 activity in zebrafish embryos. Genomic sequences can be targeted consistently with extremely high efficiency using Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) containing either a sgRNA molecule or a synthetic crRNA:tracrRNA duplex that perfectly matches the protospacer target site. Following injection of zebrafish eggs with such RNPs, virtually every copy of a targeted locus harbors an induced indel mutation. Loss of gene function is often complete, as F0 embryos closely resemble true null mutants without detectable non-specific effects. Mosaicism is sufficiently low in F0 embryos that cell non-autonomous gene functions can be probed effectively and redundant activities of genes can be uncovered when two genes are targeted simultaneously. Finally, heritable deletion mutations of at least 50 kbp can be readily induced using pairs of duplex guide RNPs targeted to a single chromosome.
