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

Pharmacogenetics, the use of genetic information to direct safer and or more effective prescription of medication, is a relatively new clinical concept. Currently, there is no consensus regarding which healthcare professionals should deliver pharmacogenetic services. This study explored the opinions of genetic counselors about their potential role in delivering pharmacogenetic services. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 14 genetic counselors. Four vignettes describing pharmacogenetic testing scenarios were used to elicit views on specific clinical applications. Data were analysed using the constant comparative method. Opinions varied, but the majority of interviewees suggested that genetic counselors could have a role. However, participants suggested that additional training would be needed due to counselors' limited knowledge of pharmacogenetics. Employing genetic counselors in a specialist role within a multidisciplinary clinic was suggested as a model of service delivery. Service models developed for pharmacogenetic testing may need to be adapted according to the issues presented by each type of test.
