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

Prime editing is a recent precision genome editing modality whose versatility offers the prospect for a wide range of applications, including the development of targeted genetic therapies. Yet, an outstanding bottleneck for its optimization and use concerns the difficulty in delivering large prime editing complexes into cells. Here, we demonstrate that packaging prime editing constructs in adenoviral capsids overcomes this constrain resulting in robust genome editing in both transformed and non-transformed human cells with up to 90% efficiencies. Using this cell cycle-independent delivery platform, we found a direct correlation between prime editing activity and cellular replication and disclose that the proportions between accurate prime editing events and unwanted byproducts can be influenced by the target-cell context. Hence, adenovector particles permit the efficacious delivery and testing of prime editing reagents in human cells independently of their transformation and replication statuses. The herein integrated gene delivery and gene editing technologies are expected to aid investigating the potential and limitations of prime editing in numerous experimental settings and, eventually, in ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic contexts.
