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

Hemoglobinopathies, including beta-thalassemia (Bthal) and sickle cell disease (SCD), are among the most prevalent inherited blood disorders. Genetic mutations affecting hemoglobin synthesis result in severe anemia and multi-organ complications. The development of gene therapy (GT) aimed at correcting or modifying the hematopoietic system, although initially impaired by several limitations, has accomplished the marketing authorization of two hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) medicinal products, engineered by lentiviral vector gene addition and by CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. Nonetheless, the success of these approaches stimulates a critical revision of our knowledge of HSC biology and bone marrow (BM) microenvironment in these diseases. Here, we review the clinical application of GT by gene addition and gene editing, and the novel findings about HSC and BM niche features and function in hemoglobinopathies. The identification of defective networks in HSC-niche is examined with the perspective of developing combined strategies to ameliorate the BM microenvironment to better support the genetically corrected cells.
