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

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency (AATD) is caused by a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene (PiZ allele), where misfolded A1AT liver accumulation leads to liver damage, and A1AT deficiency in the lungs results in emphysema due to unregulated neutrophil elastase activity. Base editing offers a potential cure for A1AT; however, effective treatment is hindered by the absence of dual-target delivery systems that can target key tissues. We developed Dual Selective ORgan-Targeting lipid nanoparticles (SORT LNPs) to deliver base editors to the liver and lungs. Dual SORT LNPs correct the PiZ mutation, achieving 40% correction editing in liver cells and 10% in lung AT2 cells. The liver maintains stable editing for 32 weeks, reducing Z-A1AT levels by over 80% and restoring a normal liver phenotype. In parallel, 89% neutrophil elastase inhibition is achieved in lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Taken together, Dual SORT LNP therapy offers a promising approach for long-lasting genome correction for multi-organ diseases such as AATD.
