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

DddA-derived cytosine base editors (DdCBEs) greatly facilitated the basic and therapeutic research of mitochondrial DNA mutation diseases. Here we devise a saturated spacer library and successfully identify seven DddA homologs by performing high-throughput sequencing based screen. DddAs of Streptomyces sp. BK438 and Lachnospiraceae bacterium sunii NSJ-8 display high deaminase activity with a strong GC context preference, and DddA of Ruminococcus sp. AF17-6 is highly compatible to AC context. We also find that different split sites result in wide divergence on off-target activity and context preference of DdCBEs derived from these DddA homologs. Additionally, we demonstrate the orthogonality between DddA and DddI
