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

Precise manipulation of genome structural variations holds great potential for plant trait improvement and biological research. Here we present a genome-editing approach, dual prime editing (DualPE), that efficiently facilitates precise deletion, replacement and inversion of large DNA fragments in plants. In our experiments, DualPE enabled the production of specific genomic deletions ranging from ~500 bp to 2 Mb in wheat protoplasts and plants. DualPE was effective in directly replacing wheat genomic fragments of up to 258 kb with desired sequences in the absence of donor DNA. Additionally, DualPE allowed precise DNA inversions of up to 205.4 kb in wheat plants with efficiencies of up to 51.5%. DualPE also successfully edited large DNA fragments in the dicots Nicotiana benthamiana and tomato, with editing efficiencies of up to 72.7%. DualPE thus provides a precise and efficient approach for large DNA sequence and chromosomal engineering, expanding the availability of precision genome-editing tools for crop improvement.
