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

For more than 40 years, scientists have been developing tools and technologies for genome modification; however, initial progress was slow and few outside of the molecular biology community took an interest in the field. Everything has dramatically changed with the recent appearance of the so-called precision approaches, and especially with the 'CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) revolution'. With great powers come great responsibilities. CRISPR-derived technologies have been proven efficient, cheap, rather easy and fast, and provided universal access to genome modification techniques beyond the leading research centers and reference laboratories. The popularization of techniques to manipulate the human genome and that of all other living beings consequently raises many essential questions, on the ethical and legal sides, both for the scientific community and the lay public. In order to mitigate excessive hype and concern among citizens, a call for the mobilization of the various stakeholders is now urgent through a global governance of genome editing.
