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

The CRISPR/Cas9 (CRISPR is an acronym for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) system is a powerful molecular biological tool simplifying the process of genome engineering. Originally demonstrated to function in human and mouse cells, the portfolio of organisms that can be engineered by the new and groundbreaking technology was soon expanded. In the past years, CRISPR/Cas9 tools for use in Komagataella phaffii were reported to allow the generation of K. phaffii mutant strains in less than 2 weeks. In addition, the K. phaffii tailored system uses episomal vectors for the expression of the CRISPR/Cas9 elements, which allows the recycling of the plasmid after the CRISPR editing to obtain empty mutant strains. This means that the engineered strains do not carry the expression cassette of the resistance marker and CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid in their genome and are therefore a superb starting point for further investigations.In this chapter, we describe a pipeline for the high-throughput generation of K. phaffii mutant strains with interrupted open reading frames of genes, by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in combination with error-prone repair of the double-strand break by NHEJ. The pipeline we developed consists of four steps: (a) CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids assembly, (b) transformation of K. phaffii, (c) screening for mutant strains, and (d) plasmid elimination and is due to the detailed description of every step being easily reproducible. To intensify and simplify the research work, most of the described procedures can be performed in a 96-well format.
