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

As we pursue clinical applications for CRISPR-directed gene editing in overcoming resistance to anticancer drugs, we have focused on genetic disruption of the transcription factor, NRF2, a master regulator of cellular stress and detoxification. The level of NRF2 in tumor cells is often a clear determinant of the effectiveness of standard of care. We began to craft a therapeutic approach using tumor-specific CRISPR editing, building upon our previous work elucidating the effect of NRF2 knockout. We selected a prevalent mutation, R34G, that occurs in the Neh2 domain of NRF2, which has been shown to disrupt KEAP1-mediated degradation, thus impacting the NRF2-KEAP1 pathway. Here, we take a global approach by assessing the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and phenotypic profile of a CRISPR-targeted population of cells, both
