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 recently developed CRISPR activator (CRISPRa) system uses a CRISPR-Cas effector-based transcriptional activator to effectively control the expression of target genes without causing DNA damage. However, existing CRISPRa systems based on Cas9/Cas12a necessitate improvement in terms of efficacy and accuracy due to limitations associated with the CRISPR-Cas module itself. To overcome these limitations and effectively and accurately regulate gene expression, we developed an efficient CRISPRa system based on the small CRISPR-Cas effector Candidatus Woesearchaeota Cas12f (CWCas12f). By engineering the CRISPR-Cas module, linking activation domains, and using various combinations of linkers and nuclear localization signal sequences, the optimized eCWCas12f-VPR system enabled effective and target-specific regulation of gene expression compared with that using the existing CRISPRa system. The eCWCas12f-VPR system developed in this study has substantial potential for controlling the transcription of endogenous genes in living organisms and serves as a foundation for future gene therapy and biological research.
