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

CRISPR-based gene editing technology theoretically allows for precise manipulation of any genetic target within living cells, achieving the desired sequence modifications. This revolutionary advancement has fundamentally transformed the field of biomedicine, offering immense clinical potential for treating and correcting genetic disorders. In the treatment of most genetic diseases, precise genome editing that avoids the generation of mixed editing byproducts is considered the ideal approach. This article reviews the current progress of base editors and prime editors, elaborating on specific examples of their applications in the therapeutic field, and highlights opportunities for improvement. Furthermore, we discuss the specific performance of these technologies in terms of safety and efficacy in clinical applications, and analyze the latest advancements and potential directions that could influence the future development of genome editing technologies. Our goal is to outline the clinical relevance of this rapidly evolving scientific field and preview a roadmap for successful DNA base editing therapies for the treatment of hereditary or idiopathic diseases.
