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

Many clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-based genome editing technologies take advantage of Cas nucleases to induce DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at desired locations within a genome. Further processing of the DSBs by the cellular DSB repair machinery is then necessary to introduce desired mutations, sequence insertions, or gene deletions. Thus, the accuracy and efficiency of genome editing are influenced by the cellular DSB repair pathways. DSBs are themselves highly genotoxic lesions and as such cells have evolved multiple mechanisms for their repair. These repair pathways include homologous recombination (HR), classical nonhomologous end joining (cNHEJ), microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) and single-strand annealing (SSA). In this review, we briefly highlight CRISPR-Cas9 and then describe the mechanisms of DSB repair. Finally, we summarize recent findings of factors that can influence the choice of DNA repair pathway in response to Cas9-induced DSBs.
