CRISPR-based Transcriptional Regulation: Technologies, Applications, and Future Directions.
Article in DNA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 transcriptional regulation technologies, including CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) and CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), offer precise and programmable control over gene expression, representing a major advance in gene and epigenetic therapy. CRISPRa uses nuclease-inactive Cas proteins fused to transcriptional activators to upregulate target genes, while CRISPRi employs repressor domains for gene silencing. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CRISPRa/i in models of metabolic, neurological, muscular, and oncological diseases. Notably, CRISPRi-based therapies have entered clinical trials for conditions like hepatitis B and muscular dystrophy, showing encouraging safety and efficacy profiles. Despite ongoing challenges related to delivery efficiency, immunogenicity, and off-target activity, innovations in protein engineering and guide RNA design are rapidly enhancing the precision and safety of these technologies. Overall, CRISPRa and CRISPRi are poised to transform the treatment of genetic and epigenetic disorders, with continued optimization expected to accelerate their clinical adoption and broaden their therapeutic impact.
