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

Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) represent a significant form of genetic variation linked to various diseases. CRISPR-mediated base editing has emerged as a powerful method for modeling diseases caused by SNVs, particularly in zebrafish, which serve as an excellent platform for investigating disease mechanisms and conducting drug screenings. However, existing cytosine base editors (CBEs) for zebrafish often have broad editing windows and strong sequence preferences, limiting their effectiveness. In this study, zebrafish (z) TadA-derived cytosine base editors, termed zTadA-CBEs, are developed by introducing key mutations into the TadA8e enzyme. These novel editors demonstrate improved efficiency and precision in cytosine base editing. Specifically, zTadA-BE4max and zTadA-BEmv offer complementary editing windows, while zTadA-SpRY-BE4max allows for PAM-flexible editing. Using zTadA-CBEs, a precise disease model for Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is established, and created two new models for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Additionally, a novel albinism model carrying two pathogenic SNVs in the F0 generation is developed. By employing specifically designed sgRNA, the fms
