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

Genetic mutations cause approximately 80% of rare human diseases, highlighting the urgent need for precise genome editing. Since clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) nucleases were first used for genome editing in 2012, genome editing technologies have rapidly advanced. Base editors, derived from the CRISPR-Cas system, were developed to introduce specific point mutations without requiring DNA double-strand breaks, and subsequently, prime editing (PE) technology was created to enable insertions, deletions, and all types of point mutations. The precision and versatility of PE make it a promising tool for clinical applications. However, PE has potential limitations, including low editing efficiency and limited capacity for large-scale manipulation. To overcome these limitations, research has been continuously conducted to improve PE efficiency and expand its capabilities. Therefore, this review aims to highlight current efforts and future directions for developing and improving PE-related tools.
