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

In recent years, CRISPR technology has become widely applied in scientific research, being simpler, cheaper, and more precise than previous gene-editing techniques. This editing technology can be used for various applications, such as gene knockout, gene knock-in, CRISPR activation (CRISPRa), CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), CRISPR screens, base editing, and prime editing. The share of pipelines to analyze the variety of CRISPR editing methods is low, and until now, none of them caters to both gene editing and CRISPR-based functional genomics. Here, we introduce nf-core/crisprseq, a Nextflow DSL2 pipeline for the assessment of CRISPR gene editing and screening assays. The workflow is written in a modularized fashion to allow the easy incorporation of new steps. nf-core/crisprseq is the first generic pipeline enabling the analysis of the broad spectrum of CRISPR designs. We show the performance and usability of the software using publicly available datasets.
