"It didn't feel like anything unusual because we had already been through so much": Disability-related research experiences of families with children enrolled in the undiagnosed diseases network.
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
purposeIn recent years, researchers have brought attention to the underrepresentation of people with disabilities in biomedical research, including genomics research. However, little is known about how disability-related experiences influence participation in rare disease research. This omission is striking because rare diseases are associated with disabling phenotypes that affect multiple body systems. As part of a study interrogating the relationship between rare disease status and disability identity, we conducted mixed-methods research to address this knowledge gap.
methodsParents of children enrolled in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) (n = 25) completed semi-structured interviews to assess disability-related experiences in research participation. Directed content analysis was used to identify common themes.
resultsParticipants' disability-related research experiences were characterized by 1) disability-related facilitators to research participation, including benefits of research participation and disability-conscious approaches; 2) disability-related logistical barriers to research participation; and 3) research procedures and the perception of research as being minimally burdensome relative to clinical encounters.
conclusionParents of children in the UDN make considerable investments of time and resources to accommodate their children's disabilities and facilitate their participation. Future research should explore these issues in other genomics research studies and identify practical approaches to mitigating barriers to and employing facilitators of disability-related research participation.
