Epigenome Engineering Using dCas Systems for Biomedical Applications and Biotechnology: Current Achievements, Opportunities and Challenges.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Epigenome engineering, particularly utilizing CRISPR/dCas-based systems, is a powerful strategy to modulate gene expression and genome functioning without altering the DNA sequence. In this review we summarized current achievements and prospects in dCas-mediated epigenome editing, primarily focusing on its applications in biomedicine, but also providing a wider context for its applications in biotechnology. The diversity of CRISPR/dCas architectures is outlined, recent innovations in the design of epigenetic editors and delivery methods are highlighted, and the therapeutic potential across a wide range of diseases, including hereditary, neurodegenerative, and metabolic disorders, is examined. Opportunities for the application of dCas-based tools in animal, agricultural, and industrial biotechnology are also discussed. Despite substantial progress, challenges, such as delivery efficiency, specificity, stability of induced epigenetic modifications, and clinical translation, are emphasized. Future directions aimed at enhancing the efficacy, safety, and practical applicability of epigenome engineering technologies are proposed.
