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 ability to accurately map and manipulate the dynamic subcellular distribution of proteins is key for a mechanistic understanding of neuronal functioning. Current fluorescence microscopy techniques provide access to subcellular protein organization at increasing resolution but are often restricted by the availability of methods that reliably label endogenous proteins. Excitingly, recent development in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing now allows researchers to specifically tag and visualize endogenous proteins, overcoming limitations associated with current labeling strategies. This article will discuss the progress that has been made in the last years that has led to the development of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools for the reliable mapping of endogenous proteins in neurons. Furthermore, recently developed tools enable the duplex labeling of two proteins simultaneously and acute manipulation of protein distribution. Future implementations of this generation of genome editing technologies will undoubtedly drive progress in molecular and cellular neurobiology.
