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

Genome editing with CRISPR systems provides an unprecedented opportunity to modulate cellular responses in pathological conditions by inactivating undruggable targets, such as transcription factors. Previously, we demonstrated that the smallest Cas9 ortholog characterized to date, from Campylobacter jejuni (CjCas9) targeted to Hif1a and delivered in an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, effectively suppressed pathological choroidal neovascularization in the mouse retina. Before implementation of CjCas9 as an in vivo therapeutic modality, it is essential to investigate the long-term effects of target gene disruption via AAV-mediated delivery of CjCas9 in vivo. In this study, histologic and electroretinographic analyses demonstrated that CjCas9 targeted to Hif1a did not induce any definite toxicity in the retina, although the target gene was mutated with a frequency ranging from 45% to 79% in retinal or retinal pigment epithelial cells. Importantly, at 14 months after injection, no indels were detected at potential off-target sites identified using Digenome-seq and Cas-OFFinder, suggesting that long-term expression of CjCas9 does not aggravate off-target effects. Taken together, our results show that intravitreal injection of AAV encoding CjCas9 targeted to Hif1a effectively induced and maintained mutations in retinal tissues for more than 1 year and did not affect retinal histologic integrity or functions.
