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

Lettuce is a globally cultivated and consumed leafy crop. Here we developed an efficient tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based guide RNA (gRNA) delivery system for CRISPR/Cas editing in the commercial lettuce cultivar 'Noga'. Plants stably expressing Cas9 were inoculated with TRV vectors carrying gRNAs targeting five nutrient-associated genes. The system achieved an average editing efficiency of 48.7%, with up to 78.9% of regenerated plantlets showing independent mutations. This approach eliminates the need for antibiotic selection, simplifying tissue culture processes. The system supports diverse applications, including Cas12a editing and large-fragment deletions using dual gRNA sets. Targeting the
