Targeted assembly of ectopic kinetochores to induce chromosome-specific segmental aneuploidies.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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.
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
Cancer cells display persistent underlying chromosomal instability, with individual tumour types intriguingly exhibiting characteristic subsets of whole, and subchromosomal aneuploidies. Few methods to induce specific aneuploidies will exist, hampering investigation of functional consequences of recurrent aneuploidies, as well as the acute consequences of specific chromosome mis-segregation. We therefore investigated the possibility of sabotaging the mitotic segregation of specific chromosomes using nuclease-dead CRISPR-Cas9 (dCas9) as a cargo carrier to specific genomic loci. We recruited the kinetochore-nucleating domain of centromere protein CENP-T to assemble ectopic kinetochores either near the centromere of chromosome 9, or the telomere of chromosome 1. Ectopic kinetochore assembly led to increased chromosome instability and partial aneuploidy of the target chromosomes, providing the potential to induce specific chromosome mis-segregation events in a range of cell types. We also provide an analysis of putative endogenous repeats that could support ectopic kinetochore formation. Overall, our findings provide new insights into ectopic kinetochore biology and represent an important step towards investigating the role of specific aneuploidy and chromosome mis-segregation events in diseases associated with aneuploidy.
