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 discovery of the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), significant progress has been made in engineering technologies such as gene analysis and editing, greatly promoting the development of biomedical research and clinical applications. In recent years, the rapid development of genome-editing technologies, especially the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system, have brought unprecedented opportunities for biomedical research and clinical applications. However, with the widespread application of genome-editing technologies, biosafety issues have gradually attracted the attention of the scientific community and the public. Potential risks such as off-target effects, genomic instability, and ethical and legal issues need to be taken seriously, and their safety and effectiveness in clinical applications still require further verification. This review summarizes the current status and potential risks of gene editing technologies in the medical field and discusses how to ensure its safe application through policies, regulations, and technical means. Through in-depth exploration of these issues, we hope to provide a comprehensive perspective for the scientific community, policy makers, and the public to promote the safe and responsible application of genome-editing technologies.
