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

CRISPR-Cas9 is now the leading method for genome editing and is advancing for the treatment of human disease. CRIPSR has promise in treating neurological diseases, but traditional viral-vector-delivery approaches have neurotoxicity limiting their use. Here we describe a simple method for non-viral transfection of primary human DRG (hDRG) neurons for CRISPR-Cas9 editing. We edited TRPV1, NTSR2, and CACNA1E using a lipofection method with CRISPR-Cas9 plasmids containing reporter tags (GFP or mCherry). Transfection was successfully demonstrated by the expression of the reporters two days post-administration. CRISPR-Cas9 editing was confirmed at the genome level with a T7-endonuclease-I assay; protein level with immunocytochemistry and Western blot; and functional level through capsaicin-induced Ca
