A multiparametric anti-aging CRISPR screen uncovers a role for BAF in protein synthesis regulation.

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.
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
Progeria syndromes are very rare, incurable premature aging conditions recapitulating most aging features. Here, we report a whole genome, multiparametric CRISPR screen, identifying 43 genes that can rescue multiple cellular phenotypes associated with progeria. We implement the screen in fibroblasts from Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome male patients, carrying a homozygous A12T mutation in BAF. The hits are enriched for genes involved in protein synthesis, protein and RNA transport and osteoclast formation and are validated in a whole-organism Caenorhabditis elegans model. We further confirm that BAF A12T can disrupt protein synthesis rate and fidelity, which could contribute to premature aging in patients. This work highlights the power of multiparametric genome-wide suppressor screens to identify genes enhancing cellular resilience in premature aging and provide insights into the biology underlying progeria-associated cellular dysfunction.
