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

CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for genome editing in cells and organisms. Nevertheless, introducing directed templated changes by homology-directed repair (HDR) requires the cellular DNA repair machinery, such as the MRN complex (Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1). To improve the process, we tailored chimeric constructs of Cas9, in which SpCas9 was fused at its N- or C-terminus to a 126aa intrinsically disordered domain from HSV-1 alkaline nuclease (UL12) that recruits the MRN complex. The chimeric Cas9 constructs were two times more efficient in homology-directed editing of endogenous loci in tissue culture cells. This effect was dependent upon the MRN-recruiting activity of the domain and required lower amounts of the chimeric Cas9 in comparison with unmodified Cas9. The new constructs improved the yield of edited cells when making endogenous point mutations or inserting small tags encoded by oligonucleotide donor DNA (ssODN), and also with larger insertions encoded by plasmid DNA donor templates. Improved editing was achieved with both transfected plasmid-encoded Cas9 constructs as well as recombinant Cas9 protein transfected as ribonucleoprotein complexes. Our strategy was highly efficient in restoring a genetic defect in a cell line, exemplifying the possible implementation of our strategy in gene therapy. These constructs provide a simple approach to improve directed editing.
