    RfxCas13d multiplex array potency vs single crRNA (TCID50)

    Graphs use only the explicit TCID50 log10 reductions reported in the provided research extraction from: .
    What’s being plotted (strictly from provided data)
    • Y-axis: reported TCID50 reduction as log10 difference versus a non-targeting (NT) control, or versus the experiment’s baseline as described in the extraction.
    • X-axis: crRNA configuration (single vs multiplex array) for RfxCas13d.
    • Limitation: only explicitly provided log-reduction values can be graphed; where the extraction says β€œβ‰ˆβ€ or β€œnot specified,” those details are not converted into additional numbers.
    Readout: For A/Turkey/Indiana/22-003707-003 at 24h, the multiplex array (PB1_M4+NP_M10) shows the largest TCID50 log10 reduction (4.39) versus either single crRNA alone (3.2 and 3.3). (All values are taken directly from the provided extraction.)
    Readout (with epistemic caution): This bar chart only includes explicit numeric values present in the extraction. For entries like β€œno detectable viral load at 24h”, the extraction does not provide a numeric log10 reduction, so that point is not plotted numerically.
    Scientific skepticism: without the underlying TCID50 titers and assay detection limits, we cannot convert β€œno detectable viral load” into an exact log10 reduction.

    Extracted TCID50 log10 reductions used for plots

    Only values explicitly present in the provided extraction are listed.
    Strain / isolate context (as extracted) Time crRNA configuration TCID50 reduction (log10) Note
    A/Turkey/Indiana/22-003707-003 24h PB1_M4 (single) 3.2 Directly extracted
    A/Turkey/Indiana/22-003707-003 24h NP_M10 (single) 3.3 Directly extracted
    A/Turkey/Indiana/22-003707-003 24h PB1_M4 + NP_M10 (multiplex) 4.39 Directly extracted
    General 24h context (as extracted) 24h PB1_M4 β‰ˆ1.4 β€œβ‰ˆβ€ kept as approximate indicator
    General 24h context (as extracted) 24h NP_M7 β‰ˆ2.3 β€œβ‰ˆβ€ kept as approximate indicator
    H5N1 (as extracted) 24h NP_M10 β‰ˆ1.4 Directly extracted as approximate
    H5N1 (as extracted) 24h PB1_M4 β‰ˆ1.3 Directly extracted as approximate
    H7N7 (as extracted) 24h NP_M10 Not given (no detectable viral load) No numeric log reduction in extraction

    Skeptical interpretation (what could change the conclusion)

    • In vitro only: these TCID50 reductions are measured in cell culture models, so in vivo antiviral efficacy and host toxicity remain unproven by these graphs alone.
    • Detection limits: β€œno detectable viral load” cannot be converted to an exact log reduction without assay LOD/ULO and actual titers; the plot avoids inventing numbers.
    • Multiplex synergy vs additivity: for the specific isolate shown, multiplex is larger than either single, but the extraction does not provide full dose-response curves, uncertainty (e.g., SD/CI), or replicate-level distributions for every pointβ€”so we cannot statistically classify synergy from these visuals alone.
    • Generalization: potency may be strain- and host-context dependent; the extraction flags substrate/cell-type variability and the need to test broader applicability.
