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 power of CRISPRi to decrease targeted gene expression for clinical applications has been inhibited by delivery challenges. Existing constructs are too large to fit within the ∼4.7 kb packaging size limitation of adeno-associated virus (AAV), the only FDA approved viral vector for clinical use. Therefore, we optimized CRISPRi components to generate a single AAV vector that contains all functional elements and effectively knocks down expression of an endogenous gene
