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

backgroundCurrently, there are no curative drugs for hepatitis B virus (HBV). Complete elimination of HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is key to the complete cure of hepatitis B virus infection. The CRISPR/Cas9 system can directly destroy HBV cccDNA. However, a CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system with low immunogenicity and high efficiency has not yet been established. Moreover, effective implementation of precise remote spatiotemporal operations in CRISPR/Cas9 is a major limitation.

resultsIn this work, we designed NIR-responsive biomimetic nanoparticles (UCNPs-Cas9@CM), which could effectively deliver Cas9 RNP to achieve effective genome editing for HBV therapy. HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA along with cccDNA in HBV-infected cells were found to be inhibited. These findings were confirmed in HBV-Tg mice, which did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity and minimal off-target DNA damage.

conclusionsThe UCNPs-based biomimetic nanoplatforms achieved the inhibition of HBV replication via CRISPR therapy and it is a potential system for efficient treatment of human HBV diseases.
