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/Cas9 has revolutionized genome editing by enabling precise and efficient genetic modifications across multiple biological systems. Despite its growing therapeutic potential, key challenges remain in mitigating off-target effects, minimizing immunogenicity, and improving the delivery of CRISPR components into target cells. This review provides an integrated analysis of physical, viral, and non-viral delivery systems, highlighting recent advances in the use of lipid nanoparticles, polymeric carriers, and hybrid platforms. We also examine an often overlooked factor: the aggregation behavior of the Cas9 protein, which may interfere with cellular uptake, the encapsulation efficiency, and nuclear localization. By comparing delivery platforms and their reported editing outcomes, we identify critical physicochemical parameters that influence therapeutic success. Finally, we propose standardized methods to assess Cas9 encapsulation and aggregation and discuss translational barriers such as manufacturing scalability and regulatory requirements. These insights aim to guide the development of safer and more effective CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies.
