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

Recent advances in CRISPR-Cas9 techniques, especially the discovery of base and prime editing, have significantly improved our ability to make precise changes in the genome. We hypothesized that modulating certain endogenous pathway cells could improve the action of those editing tools in mammalian cells. We established a reporter system in which a small fragment was integrated into the genome by prime editing (PE). With this system, we screened an in-house small-molecule library and identified a group of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) increasing prime editing. We also found that HDACi increased the efficiency of both cytosine base editing (CBE) and adenine base editing (ABE). Moreover, HDACi increased the purity of cytosine base editor products, which was accompanied by an upregulation of the acetylation of uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) and UNG inhibitor (UGI) and an enhancement of their interaction. In summary, our work demonstrated that HDACi improves Cas9-mediated prime editing and base editing.
