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

Most gene editing technologies introduce breaks or nicks into DNA, leading to the generation of mutagenic insertions and deletions by non-homologous end-joining repair. Here, we report a new, cleavage-free gene editing approach based on replication interrupted template-driven DNA modification (RITDM). The RITDM system makes use of sequence-specific DLR fusion molecules that are specifically designed to enable localized, temporary blockage of DNA replication fork progression, thereby exposing single-stranded DNA that can be bound by DNA sequence modification templates for precise editing. We evaluate the use of zinc-finger arrays for sequence recognition. We demonstrate that RITDM can be used for gene editing at endogenous genomic loci in human cells and highlight its safety profile of low indel frequencies and undetectable off-target side effects in RITDM-edited clones and pools of cells.
