Virus-induced genome editing enables functional genomics across diverse plant species.
Review in Molecules and cells, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) is expanding plant functional genomics by enabling precise and heritable genome modification across diverse species. While classical model systems such as Arabidopsis thaliana have provided foundational genetic insights, many ecologically, agriculturally, and chemically important traits reside in species that remain difficult to manipulate genetically. By coupling CRISPR-Cas systems with plant viral vectors, VIGE bypasses key limitations of conventional transformation and enables rapid mutagenesis without repeated tissue culture and plant regeneration. This approach enables researchers to examine gene function in species selected for biological relevance rather than technical convenience. Here, we review the conceptual framework, technical considerations, and applications of VIGE, and discuss its current limitations and future prospects in ecological, evolutionary, and crop research.
