Unveiling the endogenous CRISPR-Cas system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a high-priority pathogen per the World Health Organization, poses a global threat due to carbapenem resistance and limited antibiotic treatments. Using the bioinformatic tools CRISPRCasFinder, CRISPRCasTyper, CRISPRloci, and CRISPRImmunity, we analyzed the genome of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and revealed an orphan CRISPR system, suggesting it may be a remnant of a type IV system due to the presence of the DinG protein. This system comprises two CRISPR arrays and noteworthy DinG and Cas3 proteins, supporting recent evidence about the association between type IV and I CRISPR systems. Additionally, we demonstrated a co-evolutionary relationship between the orphan CRISPR system in P. aeruginosa PAO1 and the mobile genetic element and prophages identified. One self-targeting spacer was identified, often associated with bacterial evolution and autoimmunity, and no Acr proteins. This research opens avenues for studying how these CRISPR arrays regulate pathogenicity and for developing alternative strategies using its endogenous orphan CRISPR system against carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa strains.
