To test or not to test? Moderators of the relationship between risk perceptions and interest in predictive genetic testing.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
The moderating effects of motivational factors (illness prevention vs. emotional reassurance), regulatory focus (health vs. illness orientations), and cancer anxiety on the relationship between risk perceptions and women's interest in predictive genetic testing for breast cancer were studied among 102 women with no history of breast cancer. Risk perceptions per se were unrelated to testing interests. Perceptions of higher personal risk for developing breast cancer were positively related to women's interest in testing only among women whose dominant motivation was not emotional reassurance, who were not oriented towards ruling-out disease, and who were not highly anxious about breast cancer. These findings pointed to conditions under which risk perceptions may enhance screening behaviors, and other conditions under which they may not.
