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

Severe immunodeficient mice are widely used to examine human and animal cells behaviour in vivo. However, mice are short-lived and small in size; while large animals require specific large-scale equipment. Rabbits are also commonly employed as experimental models and are larger than mice or rats, easy to handle, and suitable for long-term observational and pre-clinical studies. Herein, we sought to develop and maintain stable strains of rabbits with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) via the CRISPR/Cas9 system targeting Il2rg. Consequently, X-SCID rabbits presented immunodeficient phenotypes including the loss of T and B cells and hypoplasia of the thymus. Further, these rabbits exhibited a higher success rate with engraftments upon allogeneic transplantation of skin tissue than did wild type controls. X-SCID rabbits could be stably maintained for a minimum of four generations. These results indicate that X-SCID rabbits are effective animals for use in a non-rodent model of severe immunodeficiency.
