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 growing variety of RNA classes, such as mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, plays pivotal roles in both developmental processes and various pathophysiological conditions. Nonetheless, our comprehension of RNA functions in live organisms remains limited due to the absence of durable and effective strategies for directly influencing RNA levels. In this study, we combined the CRISPR-RfxCas13d system with sperm-like stem cell-mediated semi-cloning techniques, which enabled the suppressed expression of different RNA species. This approach was employed to interfere with the expression of three types of RNA molecules: Sfmbt2 mRNA, Fendrr lncRNA, and circMan1a2(2,3,4,5,6). The results confirmed the critical roles of these RNAs in embryonic development, as their loss led to observable phenotypes, including embryonic lethality, delayed embryonic development, and embryo resorption. In summary, our methodology offers a potent toolkit for silencing specific RNA targets in living organisms without introducing genetic alterations.
