Genome editing and stem cell therapy pave the path for new treatment of sickle-cell disease.
Article in Stem cell investigation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sickle-cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle-cell anemia, is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells. This devastating hematologic disease affects millions of children worldwide. Currently the only available cure is an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) which is limited by the scarcity of fully-matched donors. SCD is caused by a single nucleotide mutation in the beta-globin gene. Correction of this genetic defect would provide a cure for the disease. Two recent murine studies have provided proof of principle for such a strategy by correcting the mutation in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) using genome editing techniques. With transformative advances being made in the genome editing field, effective and precise manipulation of cellular genomes is becoming highly feasible. Genome editing techniques in combination with stem cell therapy should provide a safe and curative treatment of various genetic diseases such as SCD.
