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

Genome editing technology has progressed rapidly in recent years. Although traditional gene-editing methods, including homologous recombination, zinc finger endonucleases, and transcription activator-like effector nucleases, have substantial implications for research in genetics and molecular biology, but they have remarkable limitations, including their low efficiency, high error rate, and complex design. A new gene-editing technology, the CRISPR/Cas system, was developed based on studies of archaeal and bacterial immune responses to viruses. Owing to its high target efficiency, simple primer design, and wide applications, the CRISPR/Cas system, whose developers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, has become the dominant genomic editing technology in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we briefly introduce the CRISPR/Cas system and its main applications for genome engineering, metabolic engineering, and transcriptional regulation in yeast, filamentous fungi, and macrofungi. The polygene and polyploid editing, construction of yeast chromosomes, yeast library creation, regulation of metabolic pathways, and CRISPR activation/CRISPR interference systems are mainly summarized and discussed. The potential applications for the treatment of fungal infections and the further transformation and application of the CRISPR/Cas system in fungi are also proposed and discussed.
