Review in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The eye is considered an effective target for genetic therapy, as it has a privileged immune status, it is easily accessed for medication delivery and it is affected by a number of inherited disorders. In particular, the retina is considered for gene therapy due to the fact that it can be visualized with ease, it does not have lymphatic vessels, nor a direct blood network for the outer layers and its cells do not divide after birth, and thus transgene expression is not affected. As gene therapy is currently on a continuously progressive development trend, this emerging field of gene manipulation techniques has yielded promising results. This involves the development of treatments for a number of debilitating and blinding diseases, which were to date considered intractable. However, numerous unanswered questions remain as regards the long-term efficacy and safety profile of these treatments. The present review article discusses the current research status regarding genetic manipulation techniques aimed at addressing visual impairment related to retinal disorders, both inherited and degenerative.
