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 clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats-associated DNA nuclease (CRISPR-Cas) protein system allows programmable gene editing through inducing double-strand breaks. Reporter assays for DNA cleavage and DNA repair events play an important role in advancing the CRISPR technology and improving our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we developed a series of reporter assays to probe mechanisms of action of various editing processes, including nonhomologous DNA end joining, homology-directed repair and single-strand annealing. With special target design, the reporter assays as an optimized toolbox can be used to take advantage of three distinct CRISPR-Cas systems (Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9, Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 and Francisella novicida U112 Cpf1) and two different reporters (GFP and Gaussia luciferase). We further validated the Gaussia reporter assays using a series of small molecules, including NU7441, RI-1 and Mirin, and showcased the use of a GFP reporter assay as an effective tool for enrichment of cells with edited genome.
