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

Use of synthetic genomics to design and build 'big' DNA has revolutionized our ability to answer fundamental biological questions by employing a bottom-up approach. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or budding yeast, has become the major platform to assemble large synthetic constructs thanks to its powerful homologous recombination machinery and the availability of well-established molecular biology techniques. However, introducing designer variations to episomal assemblies with high efficiency and fidelity remains challenging. Here we describe CRISPR Engineering of EPisomes in Yeast, or CREEPY, a method for rapid engineering of large synthetic episomal DNA constructs. We demonstrate that CRISPR editing of circular episomes presents unique challenges compared to modifying native yeast chromosomes. We optimize CREEPY for efficient and precise multiplex editing of >100 kb yeast episomes, providing an expanded toolkit for synthetic genomics.
