Insight into the molecular mechanism of the transposon-encoded type I-F CRISPR-Cas system.
Review in Journal, genetic engineering & biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
CRISPR-Cas9 is a popular gene-editing tool that allows researchers to introduce double-strand breaks to edit parts of the genome. CRISPR-Cas9 system is used more than other gene-editing tools because it is simple and easy to customize. However, Cas9 may produce unintended double-strand breaks in DNA, leading to off-target effects. There have been many improvements in the CRISPR-Cas system to control the off-target effect and improve the efficiency. The presence of a nuclease-deficient CRISPR-Cas system in several bacterial Tn7-like transposons inspires researchers to repurpose to direct the insertion of Tn7-like transposons instead of cleaving the target DNA, which will eventually limit the risk of off-target effects. Two transposon-encoded CRISPR-Cas systems have been experimentally confirmed. The first system, found in Tn7 like-transposon (Tn6677), is associated with the variant type I-F CRISPR-Cas system. The second one, found in Tn7 like-transposon (Tn5053), is related to the variant type V-K CRISPR-Cas system. This review describes the molecular and structural mechanisms of DNA targeting by the transposon-encoded type I-F CRISPR-Cas system, from assembly around the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) to the initiation of transposition.
