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

backgroundKlebsiella pneumoniae is a 'superbug' characterized by high virulence and carbapenem resistance. CRISPR-Cas3 is capable of performing large-scale deletions in bacterial genomes. The purpose of this study is to sensitize Klebsiella pneumoniae A324 to carbapenem antibiotics by eliminating the multidrug resistance plasmid pA324-IMP using a compact Cascade-Cas3 system.

methodsRecombinant plasmids were constructed using molecular cloning techniques. Three sgRNAs targeting different positions within the bla

resultsIn this study, we successfully constructed the high copy number plasmid, the fluorescent plasmid, and the recombinant CRISPR plasmids. PCR and qPCR results demonstrated that the CRISPR-Cas3 system could efficiently eliminate bla

conclusionIn conclusion, this work demonstrates that the compact Cascade-Cas3 system can serve as a novel tool to eliminate the resistance gene bla
