BioSamples database: the global hub for sample metadata and multi-omics integration.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The BioSamples database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/) at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is a core infrastructure resource that provides a centralized platform for the storage, curation, and dissemination of biological sample metadata. BioSamples holds sample descriptions across diverse datasets, enhancing their reusability and integrability in accordance with the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles. BioSamples serves as the central place to store the sample metadata for multiple repositories and archives at EMBL-EBI, including the European Nucleotide Archive, ArrayExpress, and the European Phenome-Genome Archive. In this article, we outline technical updates made to support increased sample registration and provide a better user experience. We describe four use cases whereby different communities have leveraged BioSamples to connect multi-omics data and enable the creation of public data portals and data status trackers. BioSamples is freely available, and its content is distributed under the EMBL-EBI Terms of Use available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/terms-of-use. The BioSamples code is available at https://github.com/EBIBioSamples/biosamples-v4 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17304021 and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
