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

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas13 has drawn broad interest to control gene expression and cell fate at the RNA level in general. Apart from RNA interference mediated by its endonuclease activity, the nuclease-deactivated form of Cas13 further provides a versatile RNA-guided RNA-targeting platform for manipulating kinds of RNA modifications post-transcriptionally. Chemical modifications modulate various aspects of RNA fate, including translation efficiency, alternative splicing, RNA-protein affinity, RNA-RNA interaction, RNA stability and RNA translocation, which ultimately orchestrate cellular biologic activities. This review summarizes the history of the CRISPR-Cas13 system, fundamental components of RNA modifications and the related physiological and pathological functions. We focus on the development of epi-transcriptional editing toolkits based on catalytically inactive Cas13, including RNA Editing for Programmable A to I Replacement (REPAIR) and xABE (adenosine base editor) for adenosine deamination, RNA Editing for Specific C-to-U Exchange (RESCUE) and xCBE (cytidine base editor) for cytidine deamination and dm
