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

Introduction of CRISPR/Cas9 methods (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, CRISPR-associated protein 9) have led to a huge surge in the use of precision genome editing for research applications. Translational medical efforts are likewise rapidly progressing, and Phase I clinical trials using these techniques have already started. As with any new technology that is applied to medical therapeutics, risks must be carefully defined and steps taken to mitigate side effects wherever possible. Effective methods are now available that permit identification of off-target cleavage events, a major class of potential side effects seen in mammalian genome editing. Off-target prediction algorithms are improving and have utility, but are insufficient to use alone. Empiric methods to define the off-target profile must also be used. Once defined, the frequency of off-target cleavage can be minimized using methods that limit the duration of exposure of the genome to the active genome editing complex, for example, using the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) approach. In addition, Cas9 mutants have been developed that markedly reduce the rate of off-target cleavage compared to the wild-type enzyme. Use of these new tools should become standard practice for medical applications.
