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

CRISPR technologies comprising a Cas nuclease and a guide RNA (gRNA) can utilize multiple gRNAs to enact multi-site editing or regulation in the same cell. Nature devised a highly compact means of encoding gRNAs in the form of CRISPR arrays composed of conserved repeats separated by targeting spacers. However, the capacity to acquire new spacers keeps the arrays longer than necessary for CRISPR technologies. Here, we show that CRISPR arrays utilized by the Cas9 nuclease can be shortened without compromising and sometimes even enhancing targeting activity. Using multiplexed gene repression in
