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

The CRISPR/Cas system is widely used for genome editing. However, robust and targeted insertion of a DNA segment remains a challenge. Here, we present a fusion nuclease (Cas9-N57) to enhance site-specific DNA integration via a fused DNA binding domain of Sleeping Beauty transposase to tether the DNA segment to the Cas9/sgRNA complex. The insertion was unidirectional and specific, and DNA fragments up to 12 kb in length were successfully integrated. As a test of the system, Cas9-N57 mediated the insertion of a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR) cassette into the AAVS1 locus in human T cells, and induced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in mice by simultaneously mediating the insertion of oncogenic KrasG12D into the Rosa26 locus and disrupting Trp53 and Pten. Moreover, the nuclease-N57 fusion proteins based on AsCpf1 (AsCas12a) and CjCas9 exhibited similar activity. These findings demonstrate that CRISPR-associated nuclease-N57 protein fusion is a powerful tool for targeted DNA insertion and holds great potential for gene therapy applications.
