Review in Trends in genetics : TIG, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.

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

Although public repository requirements are aimed at researchers and designed to ensure that the utility of the limited data we have is optimized, these policies also have ramifications for research participants. In this opinion article, I discuss how the nature of such repositories can subject participants whose data are 'banked' to unwitting participation in scientific projects they might find objectionable. In addition, concerns about the privacy of banked genomic data are exacerbated by recent projects that demonstrate the ability to re-identify genomic data, raising the specter of discriminatory or oppressive use of this information. These concerns are most likely to discourage participation in research that requires data sharing among those who have experienced these phenomena and are less likely to discount their likelihood.
