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

Loss-of-function analysis is one of the major arsenals we have for understanding gene functions in mammalian cells. For analysis of essential genes, the major challenge is to develop simple methodologies for tight and rapid inducible gene inactivation. One approach involves CRISPR-Cas9-mediated disruption of the endogenous locus in conjunction with the expression of a rescue construct, which can subsequently be turned off to produce a gene inactivation effect. Here we describe the development of a set of Sleeping Beauty transposon-based vectors for expressing auxin-inducible degron (AID)-tagged genes under the regulation of a tetracycline-controlled promoter. The dual transcriptional and degron-mediated post-translational regulation allows rapid and tight silencing of protein expression in mammalian cells. We demonstrated that both non-essential and essential genes could be targeted in human cell lines using a one-step transfection method. Moreover, multiple genes could be simultaneously or sequentially targeted, allowing inducible inactivation of multiple genes. These resources enable highly efficient generation of conditional gene silencing cell lines to facilitate functional studies of essential genes.
