Beyond mistrust: Diverse biobanking preferences among parents and adolescents with sickle cell disease.
Article in Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics, 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
purposeTo examine biobanking preferences among adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) and parents of children with SCD to inform best practices for promoting informed consent.
methodsA purposeful sample of caregivers of patients with SCD (any genotype) (n = 200) and adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years (n = 100) completed a written survey that included 5 questions about biobanking, and a subset of them participated in follow-up interviews.
resultsAdolescents (82.0%) were significantly more willing than parents (69.0%) to grant permission for long-term sample storage (P = .0237). Both groups expressed support for allowing their samples to be used in research beyond SCD (parents: 75.0%; adolescents: 79.0%; P = .532). In contrast, support for the use of samples by researchers outside the home institution, conditional on appropriate privacy protections, was more limited (parents: 57.0%; adolescents: 58.0%; P = .967). Altruism supporting participation (78%) and mistrust constraining participation (62%) were the most frequent themes shaping participants' views. Perspectives varied widely regarding sample use, biobanking intentions, permission processes, perceived burden, storage duration, ownership, motivation, reciprocity, trust, potential harm, and privacy considerations.
conclusionSubstantial diversity in biobanking preferences exists. Teams should consider offering a flexible range of consent options to respect participant autonomy and accommodate the broad spectrum of views revealed in this study.
