Review in Nature cell biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 17 papers.

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

With the advent of efficient, easy-to-use genome editing by CRISPR-Cas9, editing human embryos is now possible, providing tremendous opportunities to study gene function and cell fate in early human development. The technique can also be used to modify the human germline. Unresolved questions about pre-implantation human development could be addressed by basic research using CRISPR-Cas9. In this Perspective, we discuss advances in human genome editing and consider ethical questions and potential clinical implications of this technology.
