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

Although several Cre-regulated CRISPR/Cas platforms exist, a CRISPR/Cas-controlled Cre-system remains a challenge. Here, we present a genetic switch we term SWITCHER based on a floxed wild-type Cre-construct representing a CRISPR-inducible and self-limiting kill switch. By leveraging CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated crRNA-array maturation, we showcase SWITCHER's dual role-not just as a recombinase but as a CRISPR switch, capable of orchestrating distinct Cas12a/crRNA-encoded programs.
