NCBI RefSeq: reference sequence standards through 25 years of curation and annotation.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 238 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Reference sequences and annotations serve as the foundation for many lines of research today, from organism and sequence identification to providing a core description of the genes, transcripts and proteins found in an organism's genome. Interpretation of data including transcriptomics, proteomics, sequence variation and comparative analyses based on reference gene annotations informs our understanding of gene function and possible disease mechanisms, leading to new biomedical discoveries. The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) resource created at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) leverages both automatic processes and expert curation to create a robust set of reference sequences of genomic, transcript and protein data spanning the tree of life. RefSeq continues to refine its annotation and quality control processes and utilize better quality genomes resulting from advances in sequencing technologies as well as RNA-Seq data to produce high-quality annotated genomes, ortholog predictions across more organisms and other products that are easily accessible through multiple NCBI resources. This report summarizes the current status of the eukaryotic, prokaryotic and viral RefSeq resources, with a focus on eukaryotic annotation, the increase in taxonomic representation and the effect it will have on comparative genomics. The RefSeq resource is publicly accessible at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/refseq.
