1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Medical genetics has been at the forefront of developments in medicine for the last 50 years. This progress has mainly benefited industrialized countries. Due to continuing improvements in the socio-economic and health indices in developing nations more than half of them have now reached a stage where it has become relevant for them to initiate and develop medical genetic services. The WHO foresaw this eventuality in 1985 and further recognised the need to develop community based medical genetic services that are relevant to and can be incorporated into primary health care. The need for primary health care based medical genetic services has subsequently also been accepted in industrialized nations. This paper summarises those primary health care based interventions that can be undertaken to ensure the control of genetic disorders and birth defects.
