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

RNA-targeted degradation technologies offer significant promise for treating diseases by selectively disrupting gene expression. However, a robust method to specifically, efficiently, and programmability degrade targeted RNAs in mammalian cells is still in demand. Here, we present a versatile platform, dCas13d-directed chaperone-mediated autophagy (dCasCMA), which integrates the precise targeting capabilities of dCas13/CRISPR with the degradation efficiency of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) to achieve efficient degradation of specific RNAs. By combining dCas13d with a CMA-targeting motif and customizable guide RNA (gRNA), the platform allows for accurate targeting of both exogenous and endogenous RNAs in cells. Moreover, the incorporation of multiplexed gRNA expression arrays enables the simultaneous degradation of multiple RNA targets during viral pathogenesis in live cells and in vivo. Our findings emphasize the platform's modular design, which enables flexible combinations of dCCTM components with user-defined gRNA sequences. This versatility positions it as a promising tool for developing innovative therapies for various diseases.
