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

Prime editing is a versatile genome editing technology that circumvents the need for DNA double-strand break formation and homology-directed repair, making it particularly suitable for in vivo correction of pathogenic mutations. Here we developed liver-specific prime editing approaches with temporally restricted prime editor (PE) expression. We first established a dual-delivery approach where the prime editor guide RNA is continuously expressed from adeno-associated viral vectors and only the PE is transiently delivered as nucleoside-modified mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP). This strategy achieved 26.2% editing with PEmax and 47.4% editing with PE7 at the Dnmt1 locus using a single 2 mg kg
