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 ability to tailor alterations in genomes, including plant genomes, in a site-specific manner has been greatly advanced through approaches that reduced the complexity and time of genome sequencing along with development of gene editing technologies. These technologies provide a valuable foundation for studies of gene function, metabolic engineering, and trait modification for crop improvement. Development of genome editing methodologies began ∼20 years ago, first with meganucleases and followed by zinc finger nucleases, transcriptional activator-like effector nucleases and, most recently, clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein (Cas) (CRISPR/Cas), which is by far the most utilized method. The premise of CRISPR/Cas centers on the cleaving of one or both DNA strands by a Cas protein, an endonuclease, followed by mending of the DNA by repair mechanisms inherent in cells. Its user-friendly construct design, greater flexibility in targeting genomic regions, and cost-effective attributes have resulted in it being widely adopted and revolutionizing precise modification of the genomes of many organisms. Indeed, the CRISPR/Cas system has been utilized for gene editing in many plant species, including important food crops, such as maize, wheat, rice, and potatoes. This review summarizes the various approaches, including the most recent designs being used to make modifications from as small as a single-base-pair change to insertion of DNA fragments. On the gene expression level, strategies are presented that make it possible to knock out or modulate through activation and repression. Also discussed are prerequisites necessary for CRISPR/Cas-mediated editing as well as the current challenges.
