The prospects of CRISPR-based genome engineering in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
Review in Therapeutic advances in neurological disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Over the past few decades, as gene discovery methods and sequencing technologies have evolved, many genetic variations that significantly increase the risk of or cause neurodegenerative diseases have been identified. However, knowledge of those pathogenic mutations and subsequent mechanism-focused studies has rarely yielded effective treatments, warranting alternative strategies for refining rational therapeutic targets. Nevertheless, with the evolution of gene targeting methods, it has been increasingly recognized that the disease-causing gene itself is the best therapeutic target even when we do not have a full understanding of its biological functions. Considering this, CRISPR/Cas gene editing technology offers the promise of permanently silencing or correcting the disease-causing mutations, potentially overcoming key limitations of RNA-targeting approaches. The versatile CRISPR/Cas-based strategies have the potential to become treatment options for challenging disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we summarize recent reports of preclinical applications of CRISPR/Cas in models of neurodegenerative disorders to provide perspectives on therapeutic gene editing for diseases of the nervous system.
