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 is a precise and effective genome editing technology; but despite several advancements during the last decade, our ability to computationally design gRNAs remains limited. Most predictive models have relatively low predictive power and utilize only the sequence of the target site as input. Here we suggest a new category of features, which incorporate the target site genomic position and the presence of genes close to it. We calculate four features based on gene expression and codon usage bias indices. We show, on CRISPR datasets taken from 3 different cell types, that such features perform comparably with 425 state-of-the-art predictive features, ranking in the top 2-12% of features. We trained new predictive models, showing that adding expression features to them significantly improves their r
