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

We present a sid-1 loss-of-function and restoration-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 co-conversion protocol in Caenorhabditis elegans. Introducing CRISPR reagents that induce sid-1 loss-of-function can produce survivors on lethal RNAi foods while reagents that induce sid-1 restoration-of-function can be screened for restoration of visible RNAi phenotypes. Both methods efficiently reduce the pool of candidates from hundreds or thousands of F1 progeny to tens with minimal experimenter effort. Furthermore, our optimized sid-1 CRISPR design allows a high ratio of CRISPR reagents targeting the gene of interest, maximizing successful co-conversion events. The interconvertibility of the sid-1 locus readily enables this strategy to be leveraged to iteratively create complex strains with multiple gene edits.
