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

In the present day, it is possible to incorporate targeted mutations or replace a gene using genome editing techniques such as customisable CRISPR/Cas9 system. Although induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by genome editing tools can be repaired by both non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR), the skewness of the former pathway in human and other mammals normally result in imprecise repair. Scientists working at the crossroads of DNA repair and genome editing have devised new strategies for using a specific pathway to their advantage. Refinement in the efficiency of precise gene editing was witnessed upon downregulation of NHEJ by knockdown or using small molecule inhibitors on one hand, and upregulation of HR proteins and addition of HR stimulators, other hand. The exploitation of cell cycle phase differences together with appropriate donor DNA length/sequence and small molecules has provided further improvement in precise genome editing. The present article reviews the mechanisms of improving the efficiency of precise genome editing in several model organisms and in clinics.
