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

Genome editing technology is important for plant science and crop breeding. Genome-edited plants prepared using general CRISPR-Cas9 methods usually contain foreign DNA, which is problematic for the production of genome-edited transgene-free plants for vegetative propagation or highly heterozygous hybrid cultivars. Here, we describe a method for highly efficient targeted mutagenesis in Nicotiana benthamiana through the expression of Cas9 and single-guide (sg)RNA using a potato virus X (PVX) vector. Following Agrobacterium-mediated introduction of virus vector cDNA, >60% of shoots regenerated without antibiotic selection carried targeted mutations, while ≤18% of shoots contained T-DNA. The PVX vector was also used to express a base editor consisting of modified Cas9 fused with cytidine deaminase to introduce targeted nucleotide substitution in regenerated shoots. We also report exogenous DNA-free genome editing by mechanical inoculation of virions comprising the PVX vector expressing Cas9. This simple and efficient virus vector-mediated delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 could facilitate transgene-free gene editing in plants.
