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

Gene essentiality (synonymous with dependency) mapping reveals therapeutic vulnerabilities for intractable oncogenes, yet integrated platforms bridging CRISPR functional genomics with drug discovery remain limited. To address this gap, we developed GEMap, A Gene Essentiality-Guided Platform for Drug Discovery, by combining genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 essentiality profiles (1912 screens across 1135 cancer cell lines) with multi-omics annotations, drug profiles and drug targets information (20,000+ compounds). GEMap can be used to (1) explore multimodal gene data (Dependency/Expression/CNV/Mutation) across cell lines and tissues; (2) prioritize context-specific therapeutic targets by quantifying differential genetic dependencies in molecularly stratified cancers, such as
