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

Organoids, combined with genetic editing strategies, have the potential to offer rapid and efficient investigation of gene function in many models of human disease. However, to date, the editing efficiency of organoids with the use of non-viral electroporation methods has only been up to 30%, with implications for the subsequent need for selection, including turnaround time and exhaustion or adaptation of the organoid population. Here, we describe an efficient method for intestinal organoid editing using a ribonucleoprotein-based CRISPR approach. Editing efficiencies of up to 98% in target genes were robustly achieved across different gut anatomical locations and developmental timepoints from multiple patient samples with no observed off-target editing. The method allowed us to study the effect of loss of the tumour suppressor gene PTEN in normal human intestinal cells. Analysis of PTEN-deficient organoids defined phenotypes that likely relate to its tumour suppressive function in vivo, such as a proliferative advantage and increased organoid budding. Transcriptional profiling revealed differential expression of genes in pathways commonly known to be associated with PTEN loss, including mTORC1 activation.
