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

Background: The issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major challenge to global health, evidenced by alarming mortality predictions and the diminishing efficiency of conventional antimicrobial drugs. The CRISPR-Cas system has proven to be a powerful tool in addressing this challenge. It originated from bacterial adaptive immune mechanisms and has gained significant recognition in the scientific community. Objectives: This review aims to explore the applications of CRISPR-Cas technologies in combating AMR, evaluating their effectiveness, challenges, and potential for integration into current antimicrobial strategies. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review of recent literature from databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, focusing on studies that employ CRISPR-Cas technologies against AMR. Conclusions: CRISPR-Cas technologies offer a transformative approach to combat AMR, with potential applications that extend beyond traditional antimicrobial strategies. Integrating these technologies with existing methods could significantly enhance our ability to manage and potentially reverse the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Future research should address technical and ethical barriers to facilitate safe and effective clinical and environmental applications. This review underscores the necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration and international cooperation to harness the full potential of CRISPR-Cas technologies in the fight against superbugs.
