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

Introduction: DNA integration is a key factor limiting the marketing of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene edited crops. Several strategies have been established to obtain transgene-free gene edited plants; however, these strategies are usually time-consuming, technically difficult, providing low mutagenesis efficiency, and/or including a narrow host range. Method: To overcome such issues, we established a paraquat resistant 1 (PAR1)-based positive screening (PARS) strategy, which achieved efficient screening of transgene-free gene edited plants. Results: With PARS, the screening efficiency of mutant increased by 2.81-fold on average, and approximately 10% of T1 plants selected via PARS were transgenefree. Moreover, heritable transgene-free mutations at target loci were identified in the T1 generation. Discussion: Based on the previous reports and our data, we know that paraquat is toxic to all green plants, PAR1 is conserved among all plant species tested, and the transient expression of Cas9 editor can produce transgene-free gene edited plants. Thus, we assume that the PARS strategy established here has the potential to be widely used to screen transgene-free mutants in various crops using diverse CRISPR/Cas9 delivery approaches.
