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

Continuous innovation of revolutionizing genome engineering technologies calls for an intensified focus on new delivery technologies that not only match the inventiveness of genome editors but also enable the combination of potent delivery and time-restricted action of genome-modifying bits and tools. We have previously demonstrated the use of lentivirus-derived nanoparticles (LNPs) as a protein delivery vehicle, incorporating and transferring DNA transposases, designer nucleases, or RNA-guided endonucleases fused to the N terminus of the Gag/GagPol polypeptide. Here, we establish LNP-directed transfer of the piggyBac DNA transposase protein by fusing the transposase to the integrase protein in the C-terminal end of GagPol. We show protein incorporation and proteolytic release of the DNA transposase within matured LNPs, resulting in high levels of DNA transposition activity in LNP-treated cells. Importantly, as opposed to conventional delivery methods based on transfection of plasmid DNA or in-vitro-transcribed mRNA, protein delivery by LNPs effectively results in time-restricted action of the protein (<24 hr) without compromising overall potency. Our findings refine LNP-directed piggyBac transposase delivery, at present the only available direct delivery strategy for this particular protein, and demonstrate a novel strategy for restricting and fine-tuning the exposure of the genome to DNA-modifying enzymes.
