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

Site-specific genome editing is the most direct way to test gene function. When CRISPR-Cas9 was introduced for the editing of eukaryotic genomes, entomologists were ready with questions but had many methodologies to forge for the approach to be useful. Now, roughly 45 non-model insect genomes have been edited to study processes such as insecticide resistance, olfaction, immunity, and development. A useful first step for gene editing in an insect species of interest is identification and targeted editing of a gene with a visible phenotype. Visible markers increase the efficiency of detection of a genetic change; a wide availability of markers is one reason why model insects are so easy to manipulate and so have been key in understanding many biological processes. Here we will describe with detailed protocols how to approach a new insect species with CRISPR-era approaches by targeting a visual marker with Cas9-editing.
