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) has emerged as a transformative genome editing technology, enabling precise base substitutions, insertions, and deletions without inducing double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). However, its application in zebrafish remains limited by low efficiency. Here, we leveraged PE7, a state-of-the-art PE system, combined with La-accessible prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs), to enhance editing efficiency in zebrafish. By co-incubating PE7 protein with La-accessible pegRNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes and microinjecting these complexes into zebrafish embryos, we achieved up to 15.99% editing efficiency at target loci-an improvement of 6.81- to 11.46-fold over PE2. Additionally, we observed 16.60% 6 bp insertions and 13.18% 10 bp deletions at the adgrf3b locus, representing a 3.13-fold increase over PE2. Finally, we used PE to introduce desired edits at the
