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

There is increased interest in strain engineering in the food and industrial yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus and a number of CRISPR/Cas9 systems have been described and used by different groups. The methods that we developed allow for very rapid and efficient inactivation of target genes using the endogenous DNA repair mechanisms of the cell. The strains and plasmids that we use are freely available, and here we provide a set of integrated protocols to easily inactivate genes and to precisely integrate DNA fragments into the genome, for example for promoter replacement, allelic swaps or introduction of point mutations. The protocols use the Cas9/gRNA expression plasmid pUCC001 and Golden Gate assembly for molecular cloning of targeting sequences. A genome-wide set of target sequences is provided. Using these plasmids in wild-type strains or in strains lacking non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair, the first set of protocols explain how to introduce indels (NHEJ-mediated) or precise deletions (homology-dependent repair (HDR)-mediated) at precise targets. The second set of protocols describe how to swap a promoter or coding sequence to yield a reprogrammed gene. The methods do not require the use of dominant or auxotrophic marker genes and thus the strains generated are marker-free. The protocols have been tested in multiple K. marxianus strains, are straightforward and can be carried out in any molecular biology laboratory without specialized equipment.
