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

To restore dystrophin protein in various mutation patterns of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the multi-exon skipping (MES) approach has been investigated. However, only limited techniques are available to induce a large deletion to cover the target exons spread over several hundred kilobases. Here, we utilized the CRISPR-Cas3 system for MES induction and showed that dual crRNAs could induce a large deletion at the dystrophin exon 45-55 region (∼340 kb), which can be applied to various types of DMD patients. We developed a two-color SSA-based reporter system for Cas3 to enrich the genome-edited cell population and demonstrated that MES induction restored dystrophin protein in DMD-iPSCs with three distinct mutations. Whole-genome sequencing and distance analysis detected no significant off-target deletion near the putative crRNA binding sites. Altogether, dual CRISPR-Cas3 is a promising tool to induce a gigantic genomic deletion and restore dystrophin protein via MES induction.
