Full-Spectrum Targeted Mutagenesis in Plant and Animal Cells.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Directed evolution is a powerful approach for protein engineering and functional studies. However, directed evolution outputs from bacterial and yeast systems do not always translate to higher organisms. In situ directed evolution in plant and animal cells has previously been limited by an inability to introduce targeted DNA sequence diversity. New hypermutation tools have emerged that can generate targeted mutations in plant and animal cells, by recruiting mutagenic proteins to defined DNA loci. Progress in this field, such as the development of CRISPR-derived hypermutators, now allows for all DNA nucleotides within user-defined regions to be altered through the recruitment of error-prone DNA polymerases or highly active DNA deaminases. The further engineering of these mutagenesis systems will potentially allow for all transition and transversion substitutions to be generated within user-defined genomic windows. Such targeted full-spectrum mutagenesis tools would provide a powerful platform for evolving antibodies, enzymes, structural proteins and RNAs with specific desired properties in relevant cellular contexts. These tools are expected to benefit many aspects of biological research and, ultimately, clinical applications.
