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

Base editing systems show their power in modeling and correcting the pathogenic mutations of genetic diseases. Previous studies have already demonstrated the editing efficiency of BE3-mediated C-to-T conversion in human embryos. However, the precision and efficiency of a recently developed adenine base editor (ABE), which converts A-to-G editing in human embryos, remain to be addressed. Here we selected reported pathogenic mutations to characterize the ABE in human tripronuclear embryos. We found effective A-to-G editing occurred at the desirable sites using the ABE system. Furthermore, ABE-mediated A-to-G editing in the single blastomere of the edited embryos exhibited high product purity. By deep sequencing and whole-genome sequencing, A or T mutations didn't increase significantly, and no off-target or insertion or deletion (indel) mutations were detected in these edited embryos, indicating the ABE-mediated base editing in human embryos is precise and controllable. For some sites, since a different editing pattern was obtained from the cells and the embryos targeted with the same single guide RNA (sgRNA), it suggests that ABE-mediated editing might have different specificity in vivo. Taken together, we efficiently generated pathogenic A-to-G mutations in human tripronuclear embryos via ABE-mediated base editing.
