Universal conditional knockout approach to multiple species, from fish to human induced pluripotent stem cells.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Investigating essential gene function in vertebrate development and disease is challenging due to associated lethality, necessitating precise conditional inactivation. While existing conditional knockout methods can be inefficient and demanding, especially in models like zebrafish and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a widely applicable system has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate the expanded utility and versatility of a Short Conditional intrON (SCON) knockout cassette, now validated for efficient conditional loss-of-function mutation generation in diverse vertebrate models, including zebrafish, human iPSCs, and intestinal organoids. Building on this validated broad applicability, we establish a comprehensive, user-friendly web-based GenPos-SCON database (https://genpos.org/) to streamline conditional knockout design for over 300 vertebrate species. This powerful resource and proven methodology significantly accelerate systematic gene functional studies across the vertebrate tree, providing an unprecedented tool for dissecting fundamental biological processes and disease mechanisms in relevant contexts.
