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

introductionApproximately 5 % of all cancer cases are hereditary. Cancer genetic counseling assesses individual and family risks of cancer, conducts genetic studies, interprets results, and advises patients regarding strategies for prevention and risk reduction. Currently, many networks of hereditary cancer genetic counseling units (HCGCUs) are integrated in the medical oncology services of most Spanish hospitals, which are comprised of multidisciplinary teams and offer high-quality care for the treatment of hereditary cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) analyzed key issues involving the integration of HCGCUs into the National Health Service. These included basic compliance issues by these units regarding their operation and organization, as well as prerequisites in quality control thereof.

resultsThis document describes the specific roles and clinical processes performed in HCGCUs in addition to basic services provided by molecular diagnostic laboratories. It also provides a summary on the coordination of care across different levels for patients and families with hereditary cancers. Finally, this document describes the human and material resources needed for the organization of HCGCUs.

conclusionsSEOM has been a pioneer in the creation and development of HCGCUs. This paper seeks to ensure high-quality care to individuals and families with inherited susceptibility to cancer in Spain.
