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

Since its inception, the CRISPR-Cas system, particularly Cas9, has demonstrated immense potential for life science applications, but expansion of the Cas9 toolkit is constrained by sequence-alignment-based strategies for mining and optimization. Here, we developed CasMiner-a deep-learning model for discovering and engineering novel Cas9 proteins. CasMiner achieved 99.63% accuracy in predicting Cas9s and identified VpCas9 from public databases. Experimental validation showed that VpCas9 exhibits robust double-strand cleavage activity. Combining CasMiner and evolutionary analysis, we engineered three mutants with markedly increased structural rigidity and positive charge.
