Microsatellites explorer: A database of short tandem repeats across genomes.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are widespread, repetitive elements, with a number of biological functions and are among the most rapidly mutating regions in the genome. Their distribution varies significantly between taxonomic groups in the tree of life and are highly polymorphic within the human population. Advances in sequencing technologies coupled with decreasing costs have enabled the generation of an ever-growing number of complete genomes. Additionally, the arrival of accurate long reads has facilitated the generation of Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) assemblies of complete genomes. Nevertheless, there is no comprehensive database that encompasses the STRs found per genome across different organisms and for different human genomes across diverse ancestries. Here we introduce Microsatellites Explorer, a database of STRs found in the genomes of 117,253 organisms across all major taxonomic groups, 15 T2T genome assemblies of different organisms, and 94 human haplotypes from the human pangenome. The database currently hosts 406,758,798 STR sequences, serving as a centralized user-friendly repository to perform searches, interactive visualizations, and download existing STR data for independent analysis. Microsatellites Explorer is implemented as a web-portal for browsing, analyzing and downloading STR data. Microsatellites Explorer is publicly available at https://www.microsatellitesexplorer.com.
