Analysis of tracrRNAs reveals subgroup V2 of type V-K CAST systems.
Article in microLife, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated transposons (CAST) consist of an integration between certain class 1 or class 2 CRISPR-Cas systems and Tn7-like transposons. Class 2 type V-K CAST systems are restricted to cyanobacteria. Here, we identified a unique subgroup of type V-K systems through phylogenetic analysis, classified as V-K_V2. Subgroup V-K_V2 CAST systems are characterized by an alternative tracrRNA, the exclusive use of Arc_2-type transcriptional regulators, and distinct differences in the length of protein domains in TnsB and TnsC. Although the occurrence of V-K_V2 CAST systems is restricted to Nostocales cyanobacteria, it shows signs of horizontal gene transfer, indicating its capability for genetic mobility. The predicted V-K_V2 tracrRNA secondary structure has been integrated into an updated version of the CRISPRtracrRNA program available on GitHub under https://github.com/BackofenLab/CRISPRtracrRNA/releases/tag/2.0.
