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

In 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their research on the endonuclease, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and the CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) method for DNA editing. On 16 November 2023, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was the first to approve the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing therapy, Casgevy (exagamglogene autotemcel), for the treatment of patients with transfusion-dependent b-thalassemia and the treatment of sickle cell disease in patients aged ≥12 years with recurrent vaso-occlusive crises. On 8 December 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved both Casgevy and Lyfgenia (lovotibeglogene autotemcel) for patients with sickle cell disease. On 15 December 2023, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Casgevy for sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent ß-thalassemia. This Editorial aims to present an update on the landmark first regulatory approvals of CRISPR-Cas9 for patients with sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent b-thalassemia and the potential challenges for therapeutic gene (DNA) editing.
