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-based technologies have transformed experimental biology by enabling precise, efficient, and programmable manipulation of the genome and epigenome. This chapter provides a comprehensive and practical guide to genetic and epigenetic editing using CRISPR technology, with a particular focus on applications in Ewing sarcoma cell models. We describe strategies for CRISPR-mediated gene knockout (CRISPR KO) via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), precise gene knock-in (CRISPR KI) through homology-directed repair (HDR), and reversible transcriptional modulation using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa). We emphasize the use of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) delivery of Cas9 and single guide RNAs, which offers improved editing efficiency, reduced off-target activity, and enhanced safety compared to plasmid-based approaches. Detailed protocols are provided for guide RNA design, RNP assembly, electroporation-based delivery, single-cell cloning, and molecular validation of edited clones. In addition, we outline best practices for HDR template design, discuss strategies to improve KI efficiency, and address common challenges such as polyploidy, variable editing rates, and DNA-mediated cytotoxicity. For CRISPRi and CRISPRa applications, we describe plasmid-based systems employing catalytically inactive Cas9 fused to transcriptional repressors or activators, enabling potentially tunable and reversible control of endogenous gene expression. Throughout the chapter, practical advice, troubleshooting tips, and critical considerations are included to facilitate successful implementation across diverse experimental settings. Collectively, this chapter serves as a detailed methodological resource for researchers aiming to employ CRISPR-based engineering for functional studies.
