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

The auxin-inducible degradation (AID) system is a powerful tool in modern molecular genetics that allows for conditional protein depletion. In Caenorhabditis elegans, tools exist to allow for rapid, tissue-specific depletion of target proteins. The system requires tagging a gene of interest with an AID degron and a transgene expressing the Arabidopsis thaliana TIR1 F-box protein, which can form a functional SCF ubiquitin ligase with endogenous Skp and Cullin proteins. Here, I describe how to generate degron knock-ins by CRISPR, cross them to TIR1-expressing strains, and perform depletion experiments. I provide a description of our current methods and highlight alternative approaches.
