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

Brain-wide genome-editing remains a major hurdle for the treatment of neurogenetic disorders. Here, we report a non-viral, non-nanoparticle, chemical modification-based method, called Stimuli-Responsive Traceless Engineering Platform (STEP) that achieves highly efficient and brain-wide genome-editing of neurons in mice. Using cholesterol-based STEP as a lead, we show that a single administration of STEP-ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) results in functional genetic rescue with significant improvements across a battery of neurobehavioral domains in the Angelman syndrome (AS) mouse model. No significant off-target events or general toxicity effects are observed. STEP-RNPs are also highly efficient at editing human neurons and cortical brain organoids differentiated from AS patient-derived iPSCs. scRNA-seq analysis confirms functional genetic rescue via reactivation of
