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

Hepatocyte transplantation (HTx) combined with ex vivo gene therapy has garnered significant interest due to its potential for treating many inherited metabolic liver diseases. The biggest obstacle for HTx is achieving sufficient engraftment levels to rescue diseased phenotypes, which becomes more challenging when combined with ex vivo gene editing techniques. However, recent technological advancements have improved electroporation delivery efficiency, cell viability, and scalability for cell therapy. We recently demonstrated the impacts of electroporation for cell-based gene therapy in a mouse model of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1). Here, we explore the use of the clinical-grade electroporator, the MaxCyte ExPERT GTx, utilized in the first FDA-approved CRISPR therapy, Casgevy, and evaluate its potential in primary hepatocytes in terms of delivery efficiency and cell viability. We assessed the gene editing efficiency and post-transplantation engraftment of hepatocytes from
