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

Current base- and prime-editing technologies lack efficient strategies to edit multiple genomic loci simultaneously, limiting their applications in complex genomics and polygenic diseases. Here, we describe drive-and-process (DAP) CRISPR array architectures for multiplex base-editing (MBE) and multiplex prime-editing (MPE) in human cells. We leverage tRNA as the RNA polymerase III promoter to drive the expression of tandemly assembled tRNA-guide RNA (gRNA) arrays, of which the individual gRNAs are released by the cellular endogenous tRNA processing machinery. We engineer a 75-nt human cysteine tRNA (hCtRNA) for the DAP array, achieving up to 31-loci MBE and up to 3-loci MPE. By applying MBE or MPE elements for deliveries via adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentivirus, we demonstrate simultaneous editing of multiple disease-relevant genomic loci. Our work streamlines the expression and processing of gRNAs on a single array and establishes efficient MBE and MPE strategies for biomedical research and therapeutic applications.
