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

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that include their own genomes, which encode key genes for ATP production and carbon dioxide fixation, respectively. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can cause diverse genetic disorders and are also linked to ageing and age-related diseases, including cancer. Targeted editing of organellar DNA should be useful for studying organellar genes and developing novel therapeutics, but it has been hindered by lack of efficient tools in living cells. Recently, CRISPR-free, protein-only base editors, such as double-stranded DNA deaminase toxin A-derived cytosine base editors (DdCBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs), have been developed, which enable targeted organellar DNA editing in human cell lines, animals and plants. In this Review, we present programmable deaminases developed for base editing of organellar DNA in vitro and discuss mitochondrial DNA editing in animals, and plastid genome (plastome) editing in plants. We also discuss precision and efficiency limitations of these tools and propose improvements for therapeutic, agricultural and environmental applications.
