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

purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the frequency with which medical geneticists discuss the psychiatric manifestations of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) with families in relation to the frequency with which they discuss the other manifestations of the syndromes and to explore relationships between discussion of these features and stigma toward psychiatric disorders.

methodsWe surveyed medical geneticists in the United States and Canada regarding the frequency with which they discuss various features of 22q11DS with families in the context of four clinical scenarios in which only the age of the patient at diagnosis differed. Respondents also completed a 20-item validated psychometric measure of stigma toward psychiatric disorders.

results308 of 546 medical geneticists completed the survey (56% response rate). Overall, psychiatric disorders were discussed significantly less often than other features of 22q11DS (P < 0.0001) but were discussed significantly more often when the patient was 13 years or older (P < 0.0001) than when the patient was younger. Geneticists who discussed psychiatric disorders the least had significantly higher levels of stigma toward psychiatric disorders (P = 0.007).

conclusionPsychiatric manifestations of 22q11DS are less often discussed with families during childhood. Education for physicians to help reduce stigma toward psychiatric disorders (which may impede discussion of psychiatric disorders) may warrant exploration in this population.
