Human pluripotent stem cell engineering with CRISPR-Cas9 for Parkinson's disease.
Review in Experimental & molecular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Parkinson's disease (PD) entails loss of substantia nigra dopamine (DA) neurons and α-synuclein pathology. Currently, no effective disease-modifying therapies have been developed. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPS cells) can generate DA neurons on scale, enabling human genetic PD modeling of mitochondrial, lysosomal and synaptic connection failure that leads to DA neuron degeneration. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) extends this human model by providing causal, isogenic interrogation and transcriptional regulation of PD genes and reporter knock-ins that support purification and high-content screening. hPS cell-based DA cell grafts can restore motor function yet face >90% acute cell death and product heterogeneity in vivo post implantation. CRISPR enabled not only an in vivo cell survival screen to identify the cell death regulators but also a reporter-guided enrichment of DA neurons and chemogenetic control of grafted DA cell function in vivo. Here we summarize this progress and outline a practical road map to accelerate the development of precise human models and advanced hPS cell-based cell therapies for PD.
