The Portuguese Beacon: sharing genomic variant data safely.
Article in Database : the journal of biological databases and curation, 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
Projects such as the European 1+ Million Genomes initiative and the European Genomic Data Infrastructure project are paving the way towards the age of genomic medicine. To address the challenge of balancing genomic data privacy with biomedical research, the proposed solution is to enable discovery of private datasets through public metadata. Yet enabling data discovery based on genomic variants present in a dataset-which is the goal of Beacon-raises the risk of re-identifying data subjects. We have implemented a Portuguese Beacon endpoint within the scope of the European Genomic Data Infrastructure project, which features a re-identification prevention algorithm to ensure the privacy of data subjects-the first Beacon endpoint to do so. We assessed the impact of the algorithm on data discovery, which varies with the size of the Beacon dataset.
