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 RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 endonuclease has been a transformative tool for laboratory biochemistry with huge potential as a precision therapeutic. This tool site-specifically cleaves double-stranded DNA following the recognition of a unique protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). Activation of the protein-nucleic acid Cas complex has also been widely recognized to feature an allosteric mechanism dependent on structural remodeling and interdomain crosstalk. Biophysical methods have probed the impact of allosteric perturbations on cleavage and specificity of Cas9, with the aim of engineering enhanced Cas effectors. These studies include Cas9 from thermophilic organisms that edit at higher temperatures and are active in human plasma. Validation of biophysical insights has necessitated the quantitation of DNA cleavage in vitro and, subsequently, the adaptation of established protocols to encompass temperature-dependent function that is evident in extremophilic Cas systems, such as Cas9 from
