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 (PE) represents a transformative genome-editing technology and enables precise insertions, deletions, and base substitutions without introducing double-strand breaks, thereby reducing undesired indels and off-target effects. Despite advancements in enhanced prime editors and optimized prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), designing effective pegRNAs remains a major challenge. The phospholamban (PLN) R14del mutation is associated with cardiomyopathies, making it a crucial target for precise gene-editing strategies. In this study, we explored pegRNA features that contribute to high editing efficiency using the FluoPEER.PLN R14del reporter cell line. Through systematic screening, we identified three pegRNAs with significantly enhanced editing efficiency. Our findings underscore the importance of pegRNA secondary structure and stability in optimizing prime editing, providing valuable insights into precise gene correction strategies.
