To the homeRNAmax: Developing an Improved Blood Self-Collection and Stabilization Platform for Remote Transcriptomic Studies.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Shifting human subjects research from research sites to participants' homes removes barriers to participation. Previously, we developed homeRNA, a kit for stabilization of RNA in self-collected blood using a custom-engineered tube containing RNA stabilizer fluid. The stabilized RNA is extracted and used for downstream gene expression analysis. Here, we introduce homeRNAmax, which improves our original design by interfacing with a commercially available blood collection tube (BD Microtainer), allowing homeRNAmax to be used with any blood collection method that uses this tube and doubling the possible sample volume that can be collected and stabilized compared to the original homeRNA. Through a pilot study (
