Advising patients about obtaining genomic profiles.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurologists, as all physicians, should begin to familiarize themselves with elements of genomic medicine to help their patients navigate the promises and pitfalls of obtaining genomic profiles. The neurologist should encourage a realistic assessment of the patient's expectations regarding the genetic information to be provided and apprise the patient of the challenges involved in obtaining interpretable, clinically useful information. A review of risks of obtaining genomic information is equally important. Discrimination, loss of privacy, receiving inaccurate or unwanted information, and learning information that may create obligations to disclose to others are all possibilities. As genomic research and direct-to-consumer opportunities to obtain genomic information expand, reliance on personal physicians for ethical advice based on current advancements in genomic profiling should be anticipated.
