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

In this research letter, we report the development and validation of a new subset of fluorescence-based CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) tools for our scientific community. The pJL series is directly derived from the original pIRL CRISPRi vectors and conserves all the elements to perform inducible targeted gene repression. These vectors carry two distinct fluorescent markers under the constitutive promoter psmyc to simplify the selection of recombinant clones. We demonstrate the functionality of these vectors by targeting the expression of the glycopeptidolipid translocase mmpL4b and the essential genes rpoB and mmpL3. Finally, we describe an efficient single-step procedure to co-transform mycobacterial species with this integrative genetic tool alongside episomal vectors. Such tools and approaches should be useful to foster discovery in mycobacterial research.
