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

Adenosine Deaminases that Act on RNA (ADARs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of adenosines (A's) to inosines (I's) in a process known as RNA editing. Though ADARs can act on different types of RNA, editing events in coding regions of mRNA are of particular interest as I's base pair like guanosines (G's). Thus, every A-to-I change catalyzed by ADAR is read as an A-to-G change during translation, potentially altering protein sequence and function. This ability to re-code makes ADAR an attractive therapeutic tool to correct genetic mutations within mRNA. The main challenge in doing so is to re-direct ADAR's catalytic activity towards A's that are not naturally edited, a process termed Site-Directed RNA Editing (SDRE). Recently, a handful of labs have taken up this challenge and two basic strategies have emerged. The first involves redirecting endogenous ADAR to new sites by making editable structures using antisense RNA oligonucleotides. The second also utilizes antisense RNA oligonucleotides, but it uses them as guides to deliver the catalytic domain of engineered ADARs to new sites, much as CRISPR guides deliver Cas nucleases. In fact, despite the intense current focus on CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, SDRE offers a number of distinct advantages. In the present review we will discuss these strategies in greater detail, focusing on the concepts on which they are based, how they were developed and tested, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. Though the precise and efficient re-direction of ADAR activity still remains a challenge, the systems that are being developed lay the foundation for SDRE as a powerful tool for transient genome editing.
