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 versatility of CRISPR-Cas endonucleases as a tool for biomedical research has led to diverse applications in gene editing, programmable transcriptional control, and nucleic acid detection. Most CRISPR-Cas systems, however, suffer from off-target effects and unpredictable nonspecific binding that negatively impact their reliability and broader applicability. To better evaluate the impact of mismatches on DNA target recognition and binding, we develop a massively parallel CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) assay to measure the binding energy between tens of thousands of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and target DNA sequences. By developing a general thermodynamic model of CRISPR-Cas binding dynamics, our results unravel a comprehensive map of the energetic landscape of nuclease-dead Cas12a (dCas12a) from
