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 technologies hold tremendous potential in biomedical research and drug development. Therefore, it is imperative to discover gene editing tools with superior cutting efficiency, good fidelity, and fewer genomic restrictions. Here, we report a CRISPR/Cas9 from Faecalibaculum rodentium, which is characterized by a simple PAM (5'-NNTA-3') and a guide RNA length of 21-22 bp. We find that FrCas9 could achieve comparable efficiency and specificity to SpCas9. Interestingly, the PAM of FrCas9 presents a palindromic sequence, which greatly expands its targeting scope. Due to the PAM sequence, FrCas9 possesses double editing-windows for base editor and could directly target the TATA-box in eukaryotic promoters for TATA-box related diseases. Together, our results broaden the understanding of CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering and establish FrCas9 as a safe and efficient platform for wide applications in research, biotechnology and therapeutics.
