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

The concept of future-proofing a biobank describes the need to periodically monitor the sector(s) of scientific research that the biobank is intended to support and to consider adaptation as appropriate in response to changes in the science and users' needs. Future proofing is important to maximize utilization and scientific output, minimize consumption of energy and resources on large inventories, and for sustainability of the biobank. This brief report describes a workshop on this topic that was held at the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER), May 2025.
