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

Immunogenicity of CRISPR-associated nucleases (Cas) is a critical barrier to the development of safe and effective genome editing therapies. These proteins inherently pose a risk of immune recognition due to their prokaryotic origins. A multitude of factors, such as the delivery vehicle, the route of administration, components of the therapeutics, tissue microenvironment, and pre-existing immunity, also contribute to the complexity of the host immune response to Cas proteins. As CRISPR-based therapies advance into clinical settings, it is imperative to elucidate and address the immunogenicity of Cas proteins. Here, using Cas9 as an example, we review the current understanding of Cas protein immunogenicity, the challenges it poses for therapeutic application, and strategies to mitigate cellular immune responses to Cas proteins.
