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

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug discovery. However, the introduction of known pathogenic mutations into hPSCs is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Base editing is a newly developed technology that enables facile introduction of point mutations into specific loci within the genome of living cells. Here, we design an all-in-one episomal vector that expresses a single guide RNA (sgRNA) with an adenine base editor (ABE) or a cytosine base editor (CBE). Both ABE and CBE can efficiently introduce mutations into cells, A-to-G and C-to-T, respectively. We introduce disease-specific mutations of long QT syndrome into hPSCs to model LQT1, LQT2, and LQT3. Electrophysiological analysis of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) using multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) reveals that edited hPSC-CMs display significant increases in duration of the action potential. Finally, we introduce the novel Brugada syndrome-associated mutation into hPSCs, demonstrating that this mutation can cause abnormal electrophysiology. Our study demonstrates that episomal encoded base editors (epi-BEs) can efficiently generate mutation-specific disease hPSC models.
