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 editing technique derived from the CRISPR/Cas9 discovery permits the modification of selected nucleotides in a specific gene. We used it to insert specific point mutations in exons 9, 20, 35, 43, 55 and 61 of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) gene coding for the dystrophin protein, which is absent in DMD patients. Up to 11% and 21% desired mutations of the DMD gene in HEK293T cells were obtained with the PRIME Editor 2 (PE2) and PE3, respectively. Three repeated treatments increased the percentage of specific mutations with PE2 to 16%. An additional mutation in the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence improved the PE3 result to 38% after a single treatment. We also carried out the correction of c.428 G>A point mutation in exon 6 of the DMD gene in a patient myoblast. Myoblast electroporation showed up to 8% and 28% modifications, respectively, for one and three repeated treatments using the PE3 system. The myoblast correction led to dystrophin expression in myotubes detected by Western blot. Thus, prime editing can be used for the correction of point mutations in the DMD gene.
