CRISPR-Based Genome Editing as a New Therapeutic Tool in Retinal Diseases.
Review in Molecular biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Retinal diseases are the primary reasons for severe visual defects and irreversible blindness. Retinal diseases are also inherited and acquired. Both of them are caused by mutations in genes or disruptions in specific gene expression, which can be treated by gene-editing therapy. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-Cas9) system is a frontier of gene-editing tools with great potential for therapeutic applications in the ophthalmology field to modify abnormal genes and treat the genome or epigenome-related retinal diseases. The CRISPR system is able to edit and trim the gene include deletion, insertion, inhibition, activation, replacing, remodeling, epigenetic alteration, and modify the gene expression. CRISPR-based genome editing techniques have indicated the enormous potential to treat retinal diseases that previous treatment was not available for them. Also, recent CRISPR genome surgery experiments have shown the improvement of patient's vision who suffered from severe visual loss. In this article, we review the applications of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in human or animal models for treating retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), then we survey limitations of CRISPR system for clinical therapy.
