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
objectiveWe sought to evaluate an electronic referral form to increase referral for genetic risk assessment of women with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer.
methodsA form summarizing referral for genetic counseling for women with ovarian cancer was introduced into the electronic medical record allowing gynecologic oncologists to electronically submit a request for genetic services. Analysis compared patient and provider characteristics for women newly diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer referred 1 year before and after introducing the form. All patients were seen in a single fee-for-service university-based cancer center clinic.
resultsThere were 86 newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients seen before and 83 seen after the introduction of the electronic referral form. Most lived in the metropolitan area and had stage III to IV disease, serous histology, a documented family history, and a treating oncologist who was less than 10 years from completion of fellowship. Postintervention referral rates increased from 17% to 30% (P = 0.053). Factors best predicting referral were whether the patient was seen after the intervention (P = 0.009), resided in the metropolitan area (P = 0.006), and had been identified as at high hereditary risk (P < 0.0001). Sixty percent of the referred patients participated in counseling. There were no differences in baseline characteristics of the referred patients before and after the intervention.
conclusionsReferral rates increased with the introduction of an electronic medical record referral form suggesting that streamlining the physician referral process might be effective at increasing referrals for cancer genetic risk assessment.
