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

CRISPR technologies have become standard laboratory tools for genetic manipulations across all kingdoms of life. Despite their origins in bacteria, the development of CRISPR tools for engineering bacteria has been slower than for eukaryotes; nevertheless, their function and application for genome engineering and gene regulation via CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) has been demonstrated in various bacteria, and adoption has become more widespread. Here, we provide simple plasmid-based systems for genome editing (gene knockouts/knock-ins, and genome integration of large DNA fragments) and CRISPRi in E. coli using a CRISPR-Cas12a system. The described genome engineering protocols allow markerless deletion or genome integration in just seven working days with high efficiency (> 80% and 50%, respectively), and the CRISPRi protocols allow robust transcriptional repression of target genes (> 90%) with a single cloning step. The presented minimized plasmids and their associated design and experimental protocols provide efficient and effective CRISPR-Cas12 genome editing, genome integration and CRISPRi implementation. These simple-to-use systems and protocols will allow the easy adoption of CRISPR technology by any laboratory.
