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

CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9)-based gene editing via homologous recombination (HR) enables precise gene correction and insertion. However, its low efficiency poses a challenge due to the predominance of nonhomologous end-joining during DNA repair processes. Although numerous efforts have been made to boost HR efficiency, there remains a critical need to devise a novel method that can be universally applied across cell types and in vivo animals, which could ultimately facilitate therapeutic treatments. This study demonstrated that autophagy induction using different protocols, including nutrient deprivation or chemical treatment, significantly improved HR-associated gene editing at diverse genomic loci in mammalian cells. Notably, interacting cofactor proteins that bind to Cas9 under the autophagic condition have been identified, and autophagy induction could also enhance in vivo HR-associated gene editing in mice. These findings pave the way for effective gene correction or insertion for in vivo therapeutic treatments.
