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 type V-I CRISPR-Cas system is becoming increasingly more attractive for genome editing. However, natural nucleases of this system often exhibit low efficiency, limiting their application. Here, we used structure-guided rational design and protein engineering to optimize an uncharacterized Cas12i nuclease, Cas12i3. As a result, we developed Cas-SF01, a Cas12i3 variant that exhibits significantly improved gene editing activity in mammalian cells. Cas-SF01 shows comparable or superior editing performance compared to SpCas9 and other Cas12 nucleases. Compared to natural Cas12i3, Cas-SF01 has an expanded PAM range and effectively recognizes NTTN and noncanonical NATN and TTVN PAMs. In addition, we identified an amino acid substitution, D876R, that markedly reduced the off-target effect while maintaining high on-target activity, leading to the development of Cas-SF01
