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 genome editing technologies, including nuclease-based editing, base editing and prime editing, have revolutionized biological research and modern medicine by enabling precise, programmable modification of the genome and offering new therapeutic strategies for a wide range of genetic diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning and deep learning models, is now further advancing the field by accelerating the optimization of gene editors for diverse targets, guiding the engineering of existing tools and supporting the discovery of novel genome-editing enzymes. In this Review, we summarize key AI methodologies underlying these advances and discuss their recent noteworthy applications to genome editing technologies. We also discuss emerging opportunities, such as AI-powered virtual cell models, which can guide genome editing through target selection or prediction of functional outcomes. Finally, we identify key directions where the integration of AI methods is poised to have a substantial impact going forward.
