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

backgroundThe CRISPR/Cas9 system has opened new perspectives to study the molecular basis of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) in personalized disease models. However, precise genome editing in endothelial and other hard-to-transfect cells remains challenging.

methodsIn a proof-of-principle study, we first isolated blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) from a CCM1 mutation carrier with multiple CCMs. In a CRISPR/Cas9 gene correction approach, a high-fidelity Cas9 variant was then transfected into patient-derived BOECs using a ribonucleoprotein complex and a single-strand DNA oligonucleotide. In addition, patient-specific CCM1 knockout clones were expanded after CRISPR/Cas9 gene inactivation.

resultsDeep sequencing demonstrated correction of the mutant allele in nearly 33% of all cells whereas no CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutations in predicted off-target loci were identified. Corrected BOECs could be cultured in cell mixtures but demonstrated impaired clonal survival. In contrast, CCM1-deficient BOECs displayed increased resistance to stress-induced apoptotic cell death and could be clonally expanded to high passages. When cultured together, CCM1-deficient BOECs largely replaced corrected as well as heterozygous BOECs.

conclusionWe here demonstrate that a non-viral CRISPR/Cas9 approach can not only be used for gene knockout but also for precise gene correction in hard-to-transfect endothelial cells (ECs). Comparing patient-derived isogenic CCM1
