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

The most popular CRISPR-SpCas9 system recognizes canonical NGG protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs). Previously engineered SpCas9 variants, such as Cas9-NG, favor G-rich PAMs in genome editing. In this manuscript, we describe a new plant genome-editing system based on a hybrid iSpyMacCas9 platform that allows for targeted mutagenesis, C to T base editing, and A to G base editing at A-rich PAMs. This study fills a major technology gap in the CRISPR-Cas9 system for editing NAAR PAMs in plants, which greatly expands the targeting scope of CRISPR-Cas9. Finally, our vector systems are fully compatible with Gateway cloning and will work with all existing single-guide RNA expression systems, facilitating easy adoption of the systems by others. We anticipate that more tools, such as prime editing, homology-directed repair, CRISPR interference, and CRISPR activation, will be further developed based on our promising iSpyMacCas9 platform.
