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

Genome editing opens up a new frontier in developing personalized therapeutic solutions. With the unprecedented advance in the discovery and engineering of gene editing nucleases, it has now become potentially feasible to therapeutically influence up to 90% of all human genetic mutations. Hearing loss is one of the most well studied fields from the genetics perspective, with more than one hundred identified deafness genes. Novel viral and non-viral vectors have been established as safe and efficient modalities to deliver transgenes into cells of the cochlea and to the vestibular system in animal models. Recent studies demonstrated proof-of-concept for therapeutic genome and base editing in the mammalian inner ear and preclinical development is ongoing. This review summarizes important advances and future challenges for this transformative therapeutic modality for genetic and non-genetic hearing loss.
