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

Site-directed RNA base editing enables the transient and dosable change of genetic information and represents a recent strategy to manipulate cellular processes, paving ways to novel therapeutic modalities. While tools to introduce adenosine-to-inosine changes have been explored quite intensively, the engineering of precise and programmable tools for cytidine-to-uridine editing is somewhat lacking behind. Here we demonstrate that the cytidine deaminase domain evolved from the ADAR2 adenosine deaminase, taken from the RESCUE-S tool, provides very efficient and highly programmable editing when changing the RNA targeting mechanism from Cas13-based to SNAP-tag-based. Optimization of the guide RNA chemistry further allowed to dramatically improve editing yields in the difficult-to-edit 5'-CCN sequence context thus improving the substrate scope of the tool. Regarding editing efficiency, SNAP-CDAR-S outcompeted the RESCUE-S tool clearly on all tested targets, and was highly superior in perturbing the β-catenin pathway. NGS analysis showed similar, moderate global off-target A-to-I and C-to-U editing for both tools.
