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

CRISPR-derived base editors (BE) enable precise single nucleotide substitution without introducing double-stranded DNA breaks. Apart from the base editing enzymes, efficient base editing strongly depends on both the CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA) efficiency and the edited position. Here, we show that the accuracy of BE gRNA design can be significantly improved by generating more data and by introducing deep neural networks trained on multiple different datasets simultaneously. Generating ~20,000 gRNAs for A•T to G•C and C•G to T•A conversions, we present such deep learning models, which also allow users to do dataset-aware predictions. The methods are available online and as stand-alone software.
