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 CRISPR/Cas9 system has transformed genome editing by enabling precise modifications for diverse applications. Recent advancements, including base editing and prime editing, have expanded its utility beyond conventional gene knock-out and knock-in strategies. Additionally, several catalytically dead Cas9 (dCas9) proteins fused to distinct activation domains have been developed to modulate endogenous gene expression when directed to their regulatory regions by specific single-guide RNAs. Here, we report the development of the H9 human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) line expressing an inducible dCas9-SAM activator (H9-iCas9.SAM), designed to activate transcription of endogenous genes. The H9-iCas9.SAM cells were generated through targeted integration of an inducible CRISPR/Cas9-based gene activator cassette into the AAVS1 "safe-harbour" locus. Molecular analyses confirmed precise and specific integration, ensuring minimal off-target effects. Functional characterization revealed that H9-iCas9.SAM cells retain pluripotency and display inducible endogenous gene activation upon doxycycline treatment. The versatility of H9-iCas9.SAM cells was demonstrated in directed
