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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive myopathic disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin protein that eventually leads to the exhaustion of myogenic progenitor cells (MPC). Autologous induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide an endless source of MPC, which can potentially replenish the progenitor cell pool, repair muscle damage, and prevent DMD progression. Deletion of mutant exon 23 (ΔEx23) with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) gene-editing technology can correct dystrophin gene expression in iPSCs. However, successful exon23 deletion and clonal isolation are very inefficient (~3%), and manual selection of each iPSC clone and genotyping to identify ΔEx23 is labor-intensive. To overcome these obstacles, we added a homology-directed repair (HDR) donor vector, which carries floxed fluorescent protein and antibiotic selection genes, thus allowing us to identify ΔEx23 iPSC with donor selective gene integration. Our results indicate that the HDR-mediated targeted integration enables ΔEx23 iPSC identification; the HDR donor vector increased the recognition efficiency of clonal isolation (>90% as confirmed by Sanger sequencing). After removal of the inserted genes by Cre-mediated recombination followed by doxycycline (Dox)-induced MyoD induction, ΔEx23 iPSC differentiated into MPC with restored dystrophin expression
