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

CRISPR technologies have evolved from nuclease-based genome editing to programmable systems for transcriptional and epigenetic regulations. Emerging CRISPR systems expand editing versatility by incorporating CRISPR-associated aptamers (CAPs) into single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), enabling recruitment of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) fused to diverse effectors. However, the limited availability of orthogonal aptamer-RBP pairs has hindered broad application, as conventional SELEX-based aptamer discovery is time-intensive and often fails to yield aptamers functional in cells. We developed the CRISPR-Hybrid platform, an intracellular selection method that directly evolves CAPs within bacterial cells. This system links aptamer-RBP interactions to a fluorescent reporter readout, allowing fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enrich functional variants from libraries exceeding 10
