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

Precise allele replacement by homologous recombination (also known as "gene targeting" or "genome editing") allows scientists to engineer altered DNA sequences, insertions, or deletions at specific locations in the genome. Such reverse genetics provides powerful tools to elucidate the structure and function of regulatory DNA elements, genes, RNAs, and proteins within their natural, endogenous context. Here, we describe in detail the methodology for Targeted Forward Genetics (TFG), which supports population-scale, saturating screens of allele replacements spanning thousands of base pairs at a specific target locus in the genome. The overall approach and detailed protocols, developed for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, are extensible to other organisms in which gene targeting is feasible.
