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 CRISPR/Cas12a (Cpf1) system utilizes a thymidine-rich protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and generates DNA ends with a 5' overhang. These properties differ from those of CRISPR/Cas9, making Cas12a an attractive alternative in the CRISPR toolbox. However, genome editing efficiencies of Cas12a orthologs are generally lower than those of SpCas9 and depend on their target sequences. Here, we report that the efficiency of FnCas12a-mediated targeted mutagenesis varies depending on the length of the crRNA guide sequence. Generally, the crRNA of FnCas12a contains a 24-nt guide sequence; however, some target sites showed higher mutation frequency when using crRNA with an 18-nt or 30-nt guide sequence. We also show that a short crRNA containing an 18-nt guide sequence could induce large deletions compared with middle- (24-nt guide sequence) and long- (30-nt guide sequence) crRNAs. We demonstrate that alteration of crRNA guide sequence length does not change the rate of off-target mutation of FnCas12a. Our results indicate that efficiency and deletion size of FnCas12a-mediated targeted mutagenesis in rice can be fine-tuned using crRNAs with appropriate guide sequences.
