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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with decision making about inherited cancer risk information within families and determine the interdependence between survivors' and relatives' decision making.

designA descriptive, cross-sectional design using a population-based sample of 146 dyads (N = 292) was used. Analyses included multilevel modeling using the Actor-Partner-Interdependence Model.

main outcome measuresDecision making regarding inherited cancer risk information.

resultsSeveral individual and family factors contributed toward survivors' and female relatives' decision making about inherited cancer risk information. Individual factors included the individual's perceptions of their family communication and cancer history. Family factors included survivors' and family members' age, communication and coping style that influenced the decision making of the other member of the dyad. Cancer worries and a monitoring coping style affected both seeking and avoiding decision making for survivors and relatives.

conclusionsIn view of the importance of genetic information upon family health outcomes, it is critical to address both individual and family factors that may influence decision making about cancer risk information and surveillance options for all members within the family.
