Advances and clinical potential of epigenome editing.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 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
Epigenome editing has emerged as a powerful platform to modulate gene expression in a precise and reversible manner. Recent advances have significantly improved the efficiency, specificity, and durability of epigenome editing systems, enabling fine-tuned transcriptional control. Building on these developments, epigenome editing platforms are now being explored for therapeutic applications. In this review, we summarize the evolution of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based epigenome editing technologies, highlighting key improvements in effector modules. We then discuss the disease models in which epigenome editing has been applied, including monogenic disorders, cancer, neurological diseases, and chronic diseases. These examples demonstrate the broad therapeutic promise of targeted epigenetic modulation across diverse pathological contexts. Finally, we tackle key barriers to clinical translation, including cell-type and chromatin context-specific design, in vivo delivery, and multi-gene targeting for complex disease. Collectively, this review underscores the potential of epigenome editing as a versatile platform for precision medicine.
