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

The use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) as donors for homology-directed repair (HDR)-mediated genome engineering is limited by safety issues, manufacturing constraints and restricted packaging limits. Non-viral targeted genetic knock-ins rely primarily on double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and linear single-stranded DNA (lssDNA) donors. dsDNA is known to have low efficiency and high cytotoxicity, while lssDNA is challenging for scaled manufacture. In this study, we developed a non-viral genome writing catalyst (GATALYST) system that allows production of circular single-stranded DNAs (cssDNAs) up to approximately 20 kilobases as donor templates for highly efficient precision transgene integration. cssDNA donors enable knock-in efficiency of up to 70% in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and improved efficiency in multiple clinically relevant primary immune cell types and at multiple genomic loci implicated for clinical applications with various nuclease editor systems. The high precision and efficiency in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T and natural killer (NK) cells, improved safety, payload flexibility and scalable manufacturability of cssDNA shows potential for future applications of genome engineering.
