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 possibility of collateral RNA degradation poses a concern for transcriptome perturbations and therapeutic applications using CRISPR-Cas13. We show that collateral activity only occurs with high RfxCas13d expression. Using low-copy RfxCas13d in transcriptome-scale and combinatorial pooled screens, we achieve high on-target knockdown without extensive collateral activity. Furthermore, analysis of a high-fidelity Cas13 variant suggests that its reduced collateral activity may be due to overall diminished nuclease capability.
