Precision Genome Engineering in Human Disease: Expanding Therapeutic Roles of CRISPR Technologies.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology has revolutionized genome editing, enabling precise modifications to the human genome with unprecedented accuracy and sequence specificity. This review examines current mechanistic insights, translational advances, and clinical developments in gene editing, focusing on applications in diabetes mellitus, cancer, hematologic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune pathologies. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of recent literature on CRISPR-based genome editing, emphasizing next-generation modalities like base editing and prime editing, and their impact on target specificity and genomic integrity. Therapeutic strategies involving ex vivo editing of hematopoietic stem cells and in vivo delivery approaches, including lipid nanoparticle-mediated systems, are evaluated. Base editing and prime editing have improved sequence specificity and reduced double-strand DNA breaks, enhancing safety profiles. Ex vivo editing of hematopoietic stem cells for hemoglobinopathies and in vivo genome editing via lipid nanoparticles show translational promise. However, limitations persist: off-target effects, immunogenicity, delivery inefficiencies, and ethical concerns surrounding germline editing require careful consideration. Gene editing technologies show potential for treating previously intractable diseases. Technical, safety, and ethical challenges must be addressed through continued refinement of editing platforms, rigorous scientific validation, and the establishment of robust governance frameworks to ensure safe and responsible translation into clinical medicine.
