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

Despite more than two decades since the completion of the first draft of the Human Genome Project, a substantial proportion of human genes remain poorly characterized in terms of their functions. Functional genomics aims to elucidate the roles and interactions of genes and genetic elements, providing insights into their involvement in various biological processes. In this context, the perturbomics approach-a systematic analysis of phenotypic changes resulting from gene function modulation-offers valuable insights into the function of unannotated genes. With the advent of CRISPR-Cas-based genome and epigenome editing, CRISPR screens have become the method of choice for perturbomics studies, enabling the identification of target genes whose modulation may hold therapeutic potential for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders and neurodegeneration. These findings contribute to the development of targeted drug therapies and the design of gene and cell therapies for regenerative medicine. Here we highlight recent technical advances in CRISPR-based perturbomics, focusing on more physiologically relevant, single-cell-level analyses and their successful applications in discovering novel therapeutic strategies.
