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 genetic modification of rats is a key technology for advancing biomedical research on human diseases. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing enables the generation of knockout rats in a single step, without the need for embryonic stem cells, by directly injecting genome editing components into zygotes. This simplifies the process, reduces costs, and accelerates gene function analysis in rats. However, the insertion of a gene cassette into a target site has remained inefficient, limiting the generation of knockin (KI) rats. To overcome this issue, we developed an optimized method that covers the entire process from zygote harvesting with superovulation to timed microinjection, ensuring the consistent generation of KI rats. We successfully generated four different fluorescent reporter lines at the ROSA26 locus in rats. Our study provides detailed, step-by-step protocols for donor vector design, zygote collection, microinjection, founder screening, and cryopreservation in rats.
