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

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/SaCas9 is the most popular tool for in vivo genome editing due to its high efficiency and small genome. The authors previously developed four SaCas9 orthologs as genome-editing tools. Here, to expand the targeting scope, they investigate the diversity of protospacer adjacent motifs (PAMs) by screening a list of 16 SaCas9 orthologs, twelve of which display editing activity in mammalian cells. They recognize five types of PAMs: NNGRRT, NNGRRR, NNGRC, NNGA, and NNGR. Importantly, SchCas9 recognizes the simple NNGR PAM, representing the most relaxed PAM preference of compact Cas9s to date. It is further demonstrated that SchCas9 enables efficient genome editing in multiple human cell lines. Altogether, these compact Cas9 tools offer a new option for both basic research and clinical applications.
