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-derived endoribonuclease Csy4 is a popular tool for controlling transgene expression in various therapeutically relevant settings, but adverse effects potentially arising from non-specific RNA cleavage remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a split-Csy4 architecture that was carefully optimized for in vivo usage. First, we separated Csy4 into two independent protein moieties whose full catalytic activity can be restored via various constitutive or conditional protein dimerization systems. Next, we show that introduction of split-Csy4 into human cells caused a substantially reduced extent in perturbation of the endogenous transcriptome when directly compared to full-length Csy4. Inspired by these results, we went on to use such split-Csy4 module to engineer inducible CRISPR- and translation-level gene switches regulated by the FDA-approved drug grazoprevir. This work provides valuable resource for Csy4-related biomedical research and discusses important issues for the development of clinically eligible regulation tools.
