Genetic counseling for inherited thrombophilias.
Review in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Genetic testing for inherited thrombophilia, including mutation analysis for factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A, is commonly performed. Yet, tests for inherited thrombophilia are frequently ordered inappropriately, and without proper counseling about the risks, benefits and limitations of testing. Genetic counselors are uniquely trained to help people understand and adapt to medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease. In the context of thrombophilia, genetic counselors may serve as a resource to other clinicians to: (a) identify individuals and families at increased risk for inherited thrombophilia, (b) offer and explain testing to patients and families, as appropriate, (c) facilitate patient-focused decision-making and informed consent prior to testing, (d) interpret test results, (e) explain inheritance patterns and discuss implications of thrombophilia for family members and (f) provide education and support resources. This article will provide insight into the training and roles of genetic counselors, review indications for thrombophilia testing, and highlight specific issues related to genetic testing, including genetic discrimination concerns.
