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.
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
Detection of endogenous signals and precise control of genetic circuits in the natural context are essential to understand biological processes. However, the tools to process endogenous information are limited. Here we developed a generalizable endogenous transcription-gated switch that releases single-guide RNAs in the presence of an endogenous promoter. When the endogenous transcription-gated switch is coupled with the highly sensitive CRISPR-activator-associated reporter we developed, we can reliably detect the activity of endogenous genes, including genes with very low expression (<0.001 relative to Gapdh; quantitative-PCR analysis). Notably, we could also monitor the transcriptional activity of typically long non-coding RNAs expressed at low levels in living cells using this approach. Together, our method provides a powerful platform to sense the activity of endogenous genetic elements underlying cellular functions.
