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 CRISPR-Cas12a nuclease shreds short single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) substrates indiscriminately through trans-cleavage upon activation with a specific target DNA. This shredding activity offered the potential for development of ssDNA-templated probes with fluorescent dye (F) and quencher (Q) labels. However, the formulations of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-templated fluorescent probes have not been reported possibly due to unknown (or limited) activity of Cas12a against short dsDNAs. The ssDNA probes have been shown to be powerful for diagnostic applications; however, limiting the probe selections to short ssDNAs could be restrictive from an application and probe diversification standpoint. Here, we report a dsDNA substrate (
