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

CRISPR/Cas-based gene-editing technologies have emerged as one of the most transformative tools in genome science over the past decade, providing unprecedented possibilities for both fundamental and translational research. Following the initial wave of innovations for gene knock-out, epigenetic/RNA modulation, and nickase-mediated base-editing, recent efforts have pivoted towards long-sequence gene editing- specifically, the insertion of large fragments (>1 kb) into the endogenous genome. In this review, we survey the development of these CRISPR/Cas-based sequence insertion methodologies in conjunction with the emergence of novel families of editing enzymes, such as transposases, single-stranded DNA-annealing proteins, recombinases, and integrases. Despite facing a number of challenges, this field continues to evolve rapidly and holds the potential to catalyze a new wave of revolutionary biomedical applications.
