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

Type I clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) systems are widespread in bacteria and archaea. Compared to more widely applied type II systems, type I systems differ in the multi-effector CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense needed for crRNA processing and target recognition, as well as the processive nature of the hallmark nuclease Cas3. Given the widespread nature of type I systems, the processive nature of Cas3 and the recombinogenic overhangs created by Cas3, we hypothesized that CASCADE-Cas3 would be uniquely positioned to enable efficient genome engineering in streptomycetes. Here, we report a new type I based CRISPR genome engineering tool for streptomycetes. The plasmid system, called pCRISPR-Cas3, utilizes a compact type I-C CRISPR system and enables highly efficient genome engineering. pCRISPR-Cas3 outperforms pCRISPR-Cas9 and facilitates targeted and random sized deletions. Furthermore, we demonstrate its ability to effectively perform substitutions of large genomic regions such as biosynthetic gene clusters. Without additional modifications, pCRISPR-Cas3 enabled genome engineering in several Streptomyces species at high efficiencies.
