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 development of gene therapy based on genome editing has opened up new possibilities for the treatment of human genetic disorders. This field has developed rapidly over the past few decades, some genome editing-based therapies are already in phase 3 clinical trials. However, there are several challenges to be addressed before widespread adoption of gene editing therapy becomes possible. The main obstacles in the development of such therapy are safety and efficiency, so one of the biggest issues is the delivery of genetic constructs to patient cells. Approaches in genetic cargo delivery divide into ex vivo and in vivo, which are suitable for different cases. The ex vivo approach is mainly used to edit blood cells, improve cancer therapy, and treat infectious diseases. To edit cells in organs researches choose in vivo approach. For each approach, there is a fairly large set of methods, but, unfortunately, these methods are not universal in their effectiveness and safety. The focus of this article is to discuss the current status of in vivo and ex vivo delivery methods used in genome editing-based therapy. We will discuss the main methods employed in these approaches and their applications in current gene editing treatments under development.
