Base editors: a powerful tool for generating animal models of human diseases.
Article in Cell stress, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Myriads of genetic mutations, including base substitutions, deletions, and insertions as well as chromosome structural variations, have been detected in many human diseases. Although current combination of genomics and bioinformatics has contributed greatly to understanding the genetics of these disorders, it remains challenging to ensure the causal functions of each mutation, and then to further investigate the underlying mechanism and to develop therapeutic strategies. Animal models generated by genome engineering are the key to address these issues. In this review, we will first revisit the limitation of conventional gene editing tools and mouse models generated in the past. We will then introduce a novel tool, base editors (BEs), which present a new promising approach to establish pathogenically relevant animal models. Finally, we will discuss the application of BEs in non-human primates and share our perspectives on future development of base-editing techniques.
