Metagenomic sequencing of CRISPRs as a new marker to aid in personal identification with low-biomass samples.
Article in mSystems, 2024. 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
The high specificity of the human skin microbiome is expected to provide a new marker for personal identification. Metagenomic sequencing of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), which we call metaCRISPR typing, was shown to achieve personal identification accurately. However, the intra-individual variability observed in previous studies, which may be due to poor DNA yields from skin samples, has resulted in non-reproducible results. Furthermore, whether metaCRISPR typing can assist in the forensic human DNA analysis of low-biomass samples, from which the information obtained is insufficient, is unknown. In the present study, we sequenced serially diluted control streptococcal CRISPRs cloned into plasmids to determine the minimum copy number required to obtain reproducible results from metaCRISPR typing. We found that at least 10
