A comprehensive tandem repeat catalog of the human genome.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
With the increasing availability of long-read sequencing data, high-quality human genome assemblies, and software for fully characterizing tandem repeats, genome-wide genotyping of tandem repeat loci on a population scale is becoming more feasible. Such efforts not only expand our knowledge of the tandem repeat landscape in the human genome but also enhance our ability to differentiate pathogenic tandem repeat mutations from benign polymorphisms. To this end, we analyze genome datasets from 272 individuals that employ long-read sequencing technologies. Here, we report a catalog of over 5 million tandem repeat loci, many of which are previously unannotated. Some of these loci are highly polymorphic, and many of them reside within protein-coding sequences.
