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

Base editing of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) is an attractive strategy for treating immunohematologic diseases. However, the feasibility of using adenine-base-edited HSPCs for treating X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1), the influence of dose-response relationships on immune cell generation, and the potential risks have not been demonstrated in vivo. Here, a humanized SCID-X1 mouse model was established, and 86.67% ± 2.52% (n = 3) of mouse hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) pathogenic mutations were corrected, with no single-guide-RNA (sgRNA)-dependent off-target effects detected. Analysis of peripheral blood over 16 weeks post-transplantation in mice with different immunodeficiency backgrounds revealed efficient immune cell generation following transplantation of different amounts of modified HSCs. Therefore, a large-scale infusion of gene-corrected HSCs within a safe range can achieve rapid, stable, and durable immune cell regeneration. Tissue-section staining further demonstrated the restoration of immune organ tissue structures, with no tumor formation in multiple organs. Collectively, these data suggest that base-edited HSCs are a potential therapeutic approach for SCID-X1 and that a threshold infusion dose of gene-corrected cells is required for immune cell regeneration. This study lays a theoretical foundation for the clinical application of base-edited HSCs in treating SCID-X1.
