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

We present a novel, versatile genome editing method termed ONE-STEP tagging, which combines CRISPR-Cas9-mediated targeting with Bxb1 integrase-based site-specific integration for efficient, precise, and scalable protein tagging. Applied in human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), cancer cells and primary T cells, this system enables rapid generation of endogenously tagged proteins. By enhancing the nuclear localization signal of the catalytically superior eeBxb1 integrase and co-delivering a DNA-PK inhibitor, we achieved up to ∼90% integration efficiency at the ACTR10 locus in hiPSCs. ONE-STEP tagging is robust across loci and cell types and supports large DNA cargo integration, with efficiencies reaching 16.6% for a 14.4 kb construct. The method also enables multiplexed tagging of multiple proteins within the same cell and simultaneous CRISPR-based editing at secondary loci, such as gene knockouts or homology-directed repair. Importantly, we demonstrate successful application in primary T cells by targeting the T cell receptor locus while simultaneously knocking out B2M, a key step towards generating immune-evasive, off-the-shelf chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Additionally, we introduce a dual-cassette version of the method compatible with universal donor plasmids, allowing use of entirely off-the-shelf reagents. Together, these advances establish ONE-STEP tagging as a powerful tool for both basic and therapeutic genome engineering.
