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 use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has been instrumental in the characterization of the mutational landscape of complex human diseases like cancer. But despite the enormous rise in the identification of disease candidate genetic variants, their functionality is yet to be fully elucidated in order to have a clear implication in patient care. Haploid human cell models have become the tool of choice for functional gene studies, since they only contain one copy of the genome and can therefore show the unmasked phenotype of genetic variants. Over the past few years, the human near-haploid cell line HAP1 has widely been consolidated as one of the favorite cell line models for functional genetic studies. Its rapid turnover coupled with the fact that only one allele needs to be modified in order to express the subsequent desired phenotype has made this human cell line a valuable tool for gene editing by CRISPR-Cas9 technologies. This review examines the recent uses of the HAP1 cell line model in functional genetic studies and high-throughput genetic screens using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. It covers its use in an attempt to develop new and relevant disease models to further elucidate gene function, and create new ways to understand the genetic basis of human diseases. We will cover the advantages and potential of the use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology on HAP1 to easily and efficiently study the functional interpretation of gene function and human single-nucleotide genetic variants of unknown significance identified through NGS technologies, and its implications for changes in clinical practice and patient care.
