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

A fundamental goal in genetics is to understand the connection between genotype and phenotype in health and disease. Genetic screens in which dozens to thousands of genetic elements are perturbed in a pooled fashion offer the opportunity to generate large-scale, information-rich and unbiased genotype-phenotype maps. Although typically applied in reductionist in vitro settings, methods enabling pooled CRISPR-Cas perturbation screening in vivo are gaining attention as they have the potential to accelerate the discovery and annotation of gene function across cells, tissues, developmental stages, disease states and species. In this Review, we discuss essential criteria for understanding, designing and implementing in vivo screening experiments, with a focus on pooled CRISPR-based screens in mice. We also highlight how the resulting datasets, combined with advances in multi-omics and artificial intelligence, will accelerate progress and enable fundamental discoveries across basic and translational sciences.
