Targeted editing of pericentromeric satellite DNA alters sensitivity to meiotic drive.

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.
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
Eukaryotic genomes are abundant in satellite DNA (satDNA): large blocks of tandemly-repeated sequences that accumulate in heterochromatic genome regions. SatDNAs are dynamic in their genomic location and abundance across species. Some satDNAs overlap essential genome regions such as centromeres and telomeres, but even pericentromeric satDNA can have effects on phenotypes, raising questions about their functional significance. However, it remains unclear whether these effects depend on satDNA sequence, copy number, higher-order structural organization, or genomic context. The highly repetitive nature of satDNA arrays has long hindered detailed genomic and genetic analyses. Recent advances in long-read sequencing now facilitate both the detailed characterization of satDNA structure and the development of more targeted approaches to genetic analysis. Here we present a sequential CRISPR/Cas9-based strategy to make mutations in satDNA arrays and demonstrate its utility using an autosomal pericentromeric satDNA in
