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

Recent technical advances related to the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing system have enabled sophisticated genome editing in microalgae. Although the demand for research on genome editing in microalgae has increased over time, methodological research has not been established to date for the delivery of a ribonucleoprotein (Cas9/sgRNA complex) using a cell penetrating peptide into microalgal cell lines. Here, we present a ribonucleoprotein delivery system for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mediated by the cell penetrating peptide pVEC (LLIILRRRIRKQAHAHSK) which is in a non-covalent form. Using this technically simple method, the ribonucleoprotein was successfully delivered into C. reinhardtii. Gene Maa7 and FKB12 were disrupted, and their distinguishing patterns of Indel mutations were analyzed with the observation of several insertions of sequences not originating from the genome DNA, such as chloroplast DNA, into the expected loci. In addition, the cytotoxicity of Cas9 and the ribonucleoprotein was investigated according to the concentration and time in the algal cells. It was observed that Cas9 alone without the sgRNA induces a more severe cytotoxicity compared to the ribonucleoprotein. Our study will not only contribute to algal cell biology and its genetic engineering for further applications involving various organisms but will also provide a deeper understating of the basic science of the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
