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 prime editors (PEs) have shown great promise for precise genome modification. However, their suboptimal efficiencies present a significant technical challenge. Here, by appending a viral exoribonuclease-resistant RNA motif (xrRNA) to the 3'-extended portion of pegRNAs for their increased resistance against degradation, we develop an upgraded PE platform (xrPE) with substantially enhanced editing efficiencies in multiple cell lines. A pan-target average enhancement of up to 3.1-, 4.5- and 2.5-fold in given cell types is observed for base conversions, small deletions, and small insertions, respectively. Additionally, xrPE exhibits comparable edit:indel ratios and similarly minimal off-target editing as the canonical PE3. Of note, parallel comparison of xrPE to the most recently developed epegRNA-based PE system shows their largely equivalent editing performances. Our study establishes a highly adaptable platform of improved PE that shall have broad implications.
