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

Rewriting RNA information to alter function requires controllable tools to edit RNA sequences within a user-defined region. Here we report a single-strand deaminase-assisted platform for adjustable RNA information manipulation (AIM). AIM is composed of a loop-forming guide RNA bound to an RNA-targeting Cas protein and an evolved TadA. AIM induces a loop, flanked by paired regions, in the target RNA; the loop size can be adjusted to allow conversions of single and multiple bases. We evolve TadA to achieve A-to-I, C-to-U or simultaneous A+C editing in coding and noncoding regions. We apply AIM to suppress the ochre nonsense codon (UAA) in disease-relevant cell and animal models, in which the two As must be simultaneously edited to rewrite the coding information. Moreover, we use AIM to manipulate adjacent phosphorylation sites important for protein function. Collectively, AIM is a versatile platform for manipulating RNA information within user-defined regions, opening additional avenues for functional RNA modulation.
