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

CGBE (C-to-G base editor) systems, pivotal components within the base editing arsenal, enable the precise conversion of cytosines to guanines. However, conventional cytidine deaminases possess non-specific single-stranded DNA binding properties, leading to off-target effects and safety concerns. The Cas-embedding strategy, which involves embedding functional proteins like deaminases within the Cas9 enzyme's architecture, emerges as a method to mitigate these off-target effects. Our study pioneers the application of the Cas-embedding strategy to CGBE systems, engineering a suite of novel CGBE editors, CE-CGBE. The CE-CGBE that incorporated eA3A, RBMX and Udgx excelled in editing efficiency, editing purity, and indel formation was named HF-CGBE. HF-CGBE showed no significant difference in off-target effects compared to the negative control group for both DNA and RNA. In summary, the novel HF-CGBE editors we propose expand the base editing toolbox and provide therapeutic approaches for related pathogenic mutations.
