Harnessing natural DNA modifying activities for editing of the genome and epigenome.
Review in Current opinion in chemical biology, 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
The introduction of site-specific DNA modifications to the genome or epigenome presents great opportunities for manipulating biological systems. Such changes are now possible through the combination of DNA-modifying enzymes with targeting modules, including dCas9, that can localize the enzymes to specific sites. In this review, we take a DNA modifying enzyme-centric view of recent advances. We highlight the variety of natural DNA-modifying enzymes-including DNA methyltransferases, oxygenases, deaminases, and glycosylases-that can be used for targeted editing and discuss how insights into the structure and function of these enzymes has further expanded editing potential by introducing enzyme variants with altered activities or by improving spatiotemporal control of modifications.
