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

Collectively, genetic disorders affect approximately 350 million individuals worldwide and are a major global health burden. Despite substantial progress in identification of new disease-causing genes, variants, and molecular etiologies, nearly all rare diseases have no targeted therapeutics that can address their underlying molecular causes. Base editing (BE) and prime editing (PE), two newly described iterations of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, represent potential therapeutic strategies that could be used to precisely, efficiently, permanently, and safely correct patients' pathogenic variants and ameliorate disease sequelae. Unlike "standard" CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, these technologies do not rely on double-strand break (DSB) formation, thus improving safety by decreasing the likelihood of undesired insertions and deletions (indels) at the target site. Here, we provide an overview of BE and PE, including their structures, mechanisms, and differences from standard CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. We describe several examples of the use of BE and PE to improve rare and common disease phenotypes in preclinical models and human patients, with an emphasis on in vivo editing efficacy, safety, and delivery method. We also discuss recently developed delivery methods for these technologies that may be used in future clinical settings.
