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 use of prime editing-a gene-editing technique that induces small genetic changes without the need for donor DNA and without causing double strand breaks-to correct pathogenic mutations and phenotypes needs to be tested in animal models of human genetic diseases. Here we report the use of prime editors 2 and 3, delivered by hydrodynamic injection, in mice with the genetic liver disease hereditary tyrosinemia, and of prime editor 2, delivered by an adeno-associated virus vector, in mice with the genetic eye disease Leber congenital amaurosis. For each pathogenic mutation, we identified an optimal prime-editing guide RNA by using cells transduced with lentiviral libraries of guide-RNA-encoding sequences paired with the corresponding target sequences. The prime editors precisely corrected the disease-causing mutations and led to the amelioration of the disease phenotypes in the mice, without detectable off-target edits. Prime editing should be tested further in more animal models of genetic diseases.
