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

Successful transgenesis in model organisms has significantly helped us understand gene function, regulation, genetic networks, and potential applications. Here, we introduce a single-copy knock-in system that uses 1 plasmid to target all chromosomes in Caenorhabditis elegans (SKI PLACE), designed for inserting a transgene by CRISPR/Cas9. The SKI PLACE system uses the pSKI plasmid to insert a desired transgene at specific harbor loci on each chromosome. The pSKI plasmid contains multiple restriction sites for cloning and serves as a CRISPR/Cas9-based insertion repair template because it has 2 synthetic and long homology arms that recombine with the SKI PLACE cassettes. This system also uses a single crRNA guide, which acts as a Co-CRISPR enrichment marker. Overall, the SKI PLACE system is flexible; with the same SKI PLACE cassette on each chromosome, researchers can select the insertion site, work with 1 plasmid, and streamline tracking using standard primers.
