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

Virus-induced gene editing (VIGE) has reached an inflection point. Although conceived as an alternative to traditional methods of producing gene-edited plants, VIGE has historically relied on the very technologies it was meant to supersede-specifically, tissue-culture-mediated transgenesis. Recent VIGE innovations, however, have finally proved its viability as an independent method for plant gene editing. Here we discuss the advances in plant genome engineering VIGE may unlock, what progress has been made towards achieving these advances and the challenges that continue to impede that progress.
