Biorepositories For Global Rare Disease Research: A Narrative Review.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of this reviewRare diseases, although individually infrequent, collectively impact a substantial number of people. Collaborative translational research using biospecimens is essential for advancing our understanding of the diverse characteristics and pathophysiology of rare diseases. Biobanks play a pivotal role in this endeavor by collecting, processing, transporting, and storing biospecimens, thereby serving as invaluable resources for medical research. In this review, we explore currently available biobanks, with a specific focus on those dedicated to rare rheumatic diseases. We also examine accessible best practice guidelines for establishing and maintaining high-quality biobanks, discuss the limitations and propose future directions for enhancing biobanking efforts in rare disease research. RECENT
findingsAdvances in molecular and genomic technologies have expanded the role of biobanks, enhancing biomarker discovery and precision medicine. However, despite growth in biobanking capabilities, key challenges persist concerning ethics, interoperability, and biospecimen exchange, prompting active responses by various regulatory and governing bodies. Biobanking has transformed rare disease research. Strengthening national and international collaborations is essential for driving progress in this field and accelerating the development of novel therapeutic and precision medicine approaches.
