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

Genome editing has emerged as a transformative approach for understanding and treating retinal degenerative diseases. Combining this technology with pluripotent stem cells provides an ideal platform for modeling human development and disease, and investigating emerging therapeutic strategies ultimately aimed towards in vivo correction. This approach enables both functional studies to understand retinal degeneration and the early development of targeted therapies for inherited disease. This review offers a comprehensive overview of genome-editing techniques and the ability to create new clinically relevant models to understand human disease in retinal research, focusing on the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), as well as highlighting recent advancements in base and prime editing. Gene editing in various retinal diseases is discussed in context of studies focusing on disease modeling or developing therapeutic strategies. Continued refinement of these techniques will be essential for advancing translational applications in retinal disease treatment.
