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 multifunctional proteins of class 2 CRISPR systems such as Cas9, have been employed to activate cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in Streptomyces, which represent a large and hidden reservoir of natural products. However, such approaches are not applicable to most Streptomyces strains with reasons to be comprehended. Inspired by the prevalence of the class 1 subtype especially the type I-E CRISPR system in Streptomyces, here we report the development of the type I-E CRISPR system into a series of transcriptional regulation tools. We further demonstrate the effectiveness of such activators in nine phylogenetically distant Streptomyces strains. Using these tools, we successfully activate 13 out of 21 BGCs and lead to the identification and characterization of one polyketide, one Ripp and three alkaloid products. Our work is expected to have a profound impact and to facilitate the discovery of numerous structurally diverse compounds from Streptomyces.
