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

The emergence of genome surgery techniques like the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) editing technology has given researchers a powerful tool for precisely introducing targeted changes within the genome. New modifications to the CRISPR-Cas system have been made since its recent discovery, such as high-fidelity Cas9 variants to reduce off-target effects and transcriptional activation/silencing with CRISPRa/CRISPRi. The applications of CRISPR-Cas and gene therapy in ophthalmic diseases have been necessary and fruitful, especially given the impact of blinding diseases on society and the large number of monogenic disorders of the eye. This review discusses the impact that CRISPR-Cas has had on furthering our understanding of disease mechanisms and potential therapies for inherited eye diseases. Furthermore, we explore a brief overview of recent and ongoing gene therapy clinical trials in retinal diseases, and conclude with the implications of genome surgery on the outlook of future therapeutic interventions.
