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

CRISPR-Cas technology offers a versatile toolbox for genome editing, with applications in various cancer-related fields such as functional genomics, immunotherapy, synthetic lethality and drug resistance, metastasis, genome regulation, chromatic accessibility and RNA-targeting. The variety of screening platforms and questions in which they are used have caused the development of a wide array of analytical methods for CRISPR analysis. In this review, we focus on the algorithms and frameworks used in the computational analysis of pooled CRISPR knockout (KO) screens and highlight some of the most significant target discoveries made using these methods. Lastly, we offer perspectives on the design and analysis of state-of-art multiplex screening for genetic interactions.
