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

Since the inception of Molecular Therapy in 2000, the field of gene therapy has made remarkable progress, evolving from no approved clinical products to 23 clinical gene therapy products today. In this review, we aim to capture the transformative changes in the field by surveying the literature over this period, with a particular focus on advancements in gene delivery vector technology, disease and tissue targeting, and the revolutionary molecular tools that have become central to the field. We also discuss the current challenges facing gene therapy and the need for greater collaboration to ensure its accessibility worldwide.
