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

Targeted genomic integration of gene-sized cassettes into hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) for genetic disease treatment is constrained by the low efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR) and frequent unintended genetic changes at the editing site. Here, to overcome these challenges, we introduce selection by means of artificial transactivators (SMArT), which transiently implements AND reporter gates to achieve templated integration of a functional cassette at the target site. HDR-edited HSPCs were enriched to 80-100% purity through transient selector expression, whereas cells carrying undesired and potentially genotoxic on-target edits were preferentially depleted. Xenotransplantation of SMArT-enriched HSPCs in immunodeficient mice resulted in fully HDR-edited human grafts with the selector no longer detectable. SMArT strategies were implemented through clinically compliant manufacturing and selectors. They support both safe harbor integration and gene correction, can preserve physiological transcriptional regulation and are portable across loci also with polyfunctional editors. Overall, SMArT strategies may broaden the therapeutic applicability of gene-sized editing while reducing its genotoxic burden.
