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

In recent years, the number of tools and techniques that enable genetic material to be added, removed or altered at specific locations in the genome has increased significantly. The objective is to know the structure of genomes, the function of genes and improve gene therapy.In this work we intend to explain the functioning of the CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated protein 9) and the advantages that this technique may have compared to previously developed techniques, such as RNA interference (RNAi), Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) in gene and genome editing.We will start with the story of the discovery, then its biological function in the adaptive immune system of bacteria against bacteriophage attack, and ending with a description of the mechanism of action and its use in gene editing. We will also discuss other Cas enzymes with great potential for use in genome editing as an alternative to Cas9.CRISPR/Cas9 is a simple, inexpensive, and effective technique for gene editing with multiple applications from the development of functional genomics and epigenetics. This technique will, in the near future, have great applications in the development of cell models for use in medical and pharmaceutical processes, in targeted therapy, and improvement of agricultural and environmental species.
