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

Prime editing (PE) enables almost all types of precise genome editing in animals and plants. It has been successfully adapted to edit several plants with variable efficiency and versatility. However, this technique is inefficient for dicots for unknown reasons. Here, using new combinations of PE components, including an RNA chaperone and altered engineered prime editing guide RNAs driven by a PolII-PolIII composite promoter and a viral replicon system, we obtained up to 9.7% of the desired PE efficiency at the callus stage as assessed by targeted deep sequencing. Subsequently, we identified that up to 38.2% of transformants contained desired PE alleles in tomatoes and Arabidopsis, marking successful heritable PE transmission. Our PE tools also showed high accuracy, specificity and multiplexing capability, which unlocked the potential for practical PE applications in dicots, paving the way for transformative advancements in plant sciences.
