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

Ex vivo gene correction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for treatment of inherited human blood disorders. Use of engineered nucleases to target therapeutic transgenes to their endogenous genetic loci addresses many of the limitations associated with viral vector-based gene replacement strategies, such as insertional mutagenesis, variable gene dosage, and ectopic expression. Common methods of nuclease-mediated site-specific integration utilize the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway. However, these approaches are inefficient in HSPCs, where non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is the primary DNA repair mechanism. Recently, a novel NHEJ-based approach to CRISPR-Cas9-mediated transgene knockin, known as homology-independent targeted integration (HITI), has demonstrated improved site-specific integration frequencies in non-dividing cells. Here we utilize a HITI-based approach to achieve robust site-specific transgene integration in human mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ HSPCs. As proof of concept, a reporter gene was targeted to a clinically relevant genetic locus using a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 6 vector and single guide RNA/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes. We demonstrate high levels of stable HITI-mediated genome editing (∼21%) in repopulating HSPCs after transplantation into immunodeficient mice. Our study demonstrates that HITI-mediated genome editing provides an effective alternative to HDR-based transgene integration in CD34+ HSPCs.
