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

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely applied for plant genome editing. The commonly used SpCas9 has been shown to rely on the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequences in the canonical form NGG and non-canonical NAG. Although these PAM sequences are extensively distributed across plant genomes, a broader scope of PAM sequence is required to expand the range of genome editing. Here we report the adoption of three variant enzymes, xCas9, SpCas9-NG and XNG-Cas9, to produce targeted mutation in soybean. Sequencing results determined that xCas9 with the NGG and KGA (contains TGA and GGA) PAMs successfully induces genome editing in soybean genome. SpCas9-NG could recognize NGD (contains NGG, NGA and NGT), RGC (contains AGC and GGC), GAA and GAT PAM sites. In addition, XNG-Cas9 was observed to cleave soybean genomic regions with NGG, GAA and AGY (contains AGC and AGT) PAM. Moreover, off-target analyses on soybean editing events induced by SpCas9 and xCas9 indicated that two high-fidelity Cas9 variants including eSpCas9 (enhanced specificity SpCas9) and exCas9 (enhanced specificity xCas9) could improve the specificity of the GGA PAM sequence without reducing on-target editing efficiency. These findings significantly expand the scope of Cas9-mediated genome editing in soybean.
