Editing and synthetic engineering of chloroplast genomes.
Review in Plant communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chloroplasts are central to photosynthesis and metabolic biosynthesis in plants and algae, offering immense potential for synthetic biology. This review highlights recent advances in chloroplast genome minimization, high-efficiency genome editing, and metabolic pathway redesign aimed at optimizing chloroplast function. We first summarize strategies for relocating chloroplast-encoded genes to the nuclear genome, thereby facilitating chloroplast genome streamlining while maintaining gene expression. We then discuss cutting-edge tools for precise chloroplast genome editing, including gene knockout, knockin, base substitution, and multiplex modifications. Finally, we explore the dynamic regulation of chloroplast energy metabolism and the redesign of core metabolic pathways to enable de novo biosynthesis of high-value compounds, enhancing production efficiency and enabling crop trait improvement. Together, these integrated approaches pave the way for next-generation chloroplast engineering with broad implications for biotechnology and agriculture.
