Demystification and feasibility of CRISPR technology and gene editing in African laboratories.
Article in Biology open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, or CRISPR, is a powerful molecular biology tool that is enabling high-quality genetic research and engineering. However, for practical reasons, but more specifically because of the lack of training and the rapid development of gene-editing technology, the technique is still not well established in African laboratories. For this reason, a consortium formed by the Institut Pasteur of Tunis and Learn and Win decided to organise an international conference and workshop on CRISPR technology in particular and gene editing in general, focusing on the low-budget model more appropriate to the African context. From 12 to 17 June 2023, more than 200 interdisciplinary researchers and students from the life sciences and more than 20 international speakers and trainers gathered at the Institut Pasteur in Tunis, Tunisia, for the First African Conference and Workshop on CRISPR to discuss the latest gene editing technologies and discoveries. This Meeting Review describes the scientific event and highlights the main outcomes of both the conferences and the practical sessions. The symposium was a real success and thrives to educate, train and network international and young scientists in the field of gene editing and gene engineering.
