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

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated nuclease protein 9 (Cas9) is a powerful tool used for genome engineering, but concerns remain about off-target effects. Here we evaluate potential deleterious effects of CRISPR-Cas9 by combining sequence analysis and the genetics of the male X chromosome in a Drosophila model. Since males have only one X chromosome deleterious mutations on the X chromosome will manifest in reducing viability or result in visible phenotypes and thus provide sensitive readouts of off-target activity. Our data do not support large scale off-target effects in Drosophila. To optimize sgRNA selection, we incorporated off-target evaluation into the PlatinumCRISPr sgRNA selection tool for a broad range of organisms.
