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/Cas9 is a popular genome editing technology, yet its clinical application is hindered by off-target effects. Many deep learning-based methods are available for off-target prediction. However, few can predict off-target activities with insertions or deletions (indels) between single guide RNA and DNA sequence pairs. Additionally, the analysis of off-target data is challenged due to a data imbalance issue. Moreover, the prediction accuracy and interpretability remain to be improved. Here, we introduce a deep learning-based framework, named Crispr-SGRU, to predict off-target activities with mismatches and indels. This model is based on Inception and stacked BiGRU. It adopts a dice loss function to solve the inherent imbalance issue. Experimental results show our model outperforms existing methods for off-target prediction in terms of accuracy and robustness. Finally, we study the interpretability of this model through Deep SHAP and teacher-student-based knowledge distillation, and find it can provide meaningful explanations for sequence patterns regarding off-target activity.
