Legal update: living with the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
Article in Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 promises to make genetic discrimination illegal in the contexts of employment and health insurance. The promises of the law may be difficult to fully deliver. This article will examine some of the more important provisions that offer protection against genetic discrimination and the major shortcomings of the legislation. It concludes that the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act is an important piece of civil rights legislation, but it is not fully protective of individuals who are worried about genetic discrimination in employment or insurance.
