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

Genetic diseases have long posed significant challenges, with limited breakthroughs in treatment. Recent advances in gene editing technologies offer new possibilities in gene therapy for the treatment of inherited disorders. However, traditional gene editing methods have limitations that hinder their potential for clinical use, such as limited editing capabilities and the production of unintended byproducts. To overcome these limitations, prime editing (PE) has been developed as a powerful tool for precise and efficient genome modification. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest advancements in PE and its potential applications in the treatment of inherited disorders. Furthermore, we examine the current delivery vehicles employed for delivering PE systems in vitro and in vivo, and analyze their respective benefits and limitations. Ultimately, we discuss the challenges that need to be addressed to fully unlock the potential of PE for the remission or cure of genetic diseases.
