A Balanced Chromosomal Rearrangement Disrupting the Telomerase RNA Component Gene Causes Short Telomere-Mediated Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Excessive telomere shortening contributes to pulmonary fibrosis (PF), with at least 30% of familial cases attributed to telomere biology disorders (TBDs). However, TBD-associated PF remains underdiagnosed because of unidentified disease-causing mutations and limited referral for telomere and genetic testing. Here, we combined telomeric restriction fragment analysis, telomere analysis by a long-read Nanopore sequencing method (NanoTelSeq), exome sequencing (ES), and optical genome mapping (OGM) to investigate the underlying cause of disease in a family affected by PF, microcephaly, and premature hair graying. We identified a familial balanced translocation associated with short telomeres, which involved a chromosome 3 breakpoint within the non-coding telomerase RNA component (
