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

RNA editing is a prospective therapeutic approach for correcting harmful mutations, offering the benefits of reversibility and tunability without permanently modifying the genome. However, the relatively low enzymatic activity and the occurrence of off-target editing events present significant challenges, limiting its utility. In response to this limitation, we introduced a novel strategy: strand displacement-responsive ADAR system for RNA editing (SPRING) by adding a "blocking sequence" to form a hairpin guide RNA. This modification significantly improves the efficiency of site-directed RNA editing (SDRE) at various target sites. Furthermore, the use of hairpin guide RNA within the SPRING system enhances the specificity of RNA editing through competitive reactions during target hybridization. In principle, this approach can be employed across various ADAR-based editing systems, offering a novel RNA-editing platform with wide-ranging potential for research, therapy, and biotech applications.
