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

CRISPy-web is an interactive web-based platform designed for rational guide RNA design in CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing systems. Here, we present CRISPy-web 3.0 (https://crispy.secondarymetabolites.org/), an upgraded and versatile version that extends its functionality beyond classical Cas9-based systems. This version integrates support for diverse genome editing systems, including Cas9, CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), and TnpB/ωRNA. The redesigned interface enables users to toggle between multiple editing modes, select target regions such as ORFs or 5' UTRs, and visualize strand orientation, off-targets, and predicted mutation outcomes. It also incorporates scoring systems that evaluate guide RNA efficiency and specificity based on mismatch tolerance, positional context, and PAM requirements for CRISPR-Cas9-based applications. With an improved user interface design, enhanced backend scalability, and modular support for customizable inputs, CRISPy-web 3.0 provides a comprehensive and extensible platform for guide RNA design, enabling genome editing across a broader range of prokaryotic systems, including both CRISPR and TnpB.
