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

Creating genetically modified (GM) animals using CRISPR/Cas mediated through the electroporation of two-cell stage embryos, rather than fertilized eggs, holds considerable potential. The full potential of genome editing using two-cell stage embryos is only beginning to be explored. We developed an improved electroporation method to prevent blastomere fusion in two-cell-stage embryos, enabling efficient genome editing. Using this method, we demonstrated that the indel mutation rates and ssODN knock-in (KI) efficiencies in two-cell-stage embryos are comparable to those in fertilized eggs, with a tendency for higher efficiency in long DNA KI. This study highlights the potential value of two-cell-stage embryos and provides enhanced animal model production opportunities. Furthermore, realizing genome editing in two-cell-stage embryos extends the editing timeframe from fertilized egg to two-cell-stage embryo, offering promising avenues for future research in embryo genome editing techniques.
