Short Tandem Repeats in the era of next-generation sequencing: from historical loci to population databases.
Review in European journal of human genetics : EJHG, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
In this study, we explore the landscape of short tandem repeats (STRs) within the human genome through the lens of evolving technologies to detect genomic variations. STRs, which encompass approximately 3% of our genomic DNA, are crucial for understanding human genetic diversity, disease mechanisms, and evolutionary biology. The advent of high-throughput sequencing methods has revolutionized our ability to accurately map and analyze STRs, highlighting their significance in genetic disorders, forensic science, and population genetics. We review the current available methodologies for STR analysis, the challenges in interpreting STR variations across different populations, and the implications of STRs in medical genetics. Our findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive STR databases that reflect the genetic diversity of global populations, facilitating the interpretation of STR data in clinical diagnostics, genetic research, and forensic applications. This work sets the stage for future studies aimed at harnessing STR variations to elucidate complex genetic traits and diseases, reinforcing the importance of integrating STRs into genetic research and clinical practice.
