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

Cell lineage tracing is a key technology for describing the developmental history of individual progenitor cells and assembling them to form a lineage development tree. However, traditional methods have limitations of poor stability and insufficient resolution. As an efficient and flexible gene editing tool, CRISPR-Cas9 system has been widely used in biological research. Furthermore, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing-based tracing methods can introduce fluorescent proteins, reporter genes, or DNA barcodes for high-throughput sequencing, enabling precise lineage analysis, significantly improving precision and resolution, and expanding its application range. In this review, we summarize applications of CRISPR-Cas9 system in cell lineage tracing, with special emphasis on its successful applications in traditional model animals (e.g., zebrafish and mice), large animal models (pigs), and human cells or organoids. We also discussed its potential prospects and challenges in xenotransplantation and regenerative medicine.
