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

Background: Corneal diseases are a major cause of global visual impairment, and current treatments remain inadequate for severe or refractory cases. The CRISPR/Cas system offers robust and precise gene-editing capabilities, yet its therapeutic potential for corneal disorders remains largely unexplored. Main text: This narrative review introduces the CRISPR/Cas system and summarizes its recent advances in treating various corneal diseases, including inherited corneal dystrophies, infectious keratitis, corneal injury, and pathological neovascularization. We outline emerging preclinical and clinical studies, and analyze key issues that should be addressed for translation, including administration strategies, vector platform optimization and the mitigation of off-target toxicity. Conclusions: This review provides a comprehensive and integrated overview of the current translational directions and challenges of CRISPR/Cas technology in corneal diseases from a novel perspective. It offers valuable guidance for future research and may accelerate the development of gene-editing therapies toward clinical application.
