The Role of Knowledge on Genetic Counseling and Testing in Black Cancer Survivors at Increased Risk of Carrying a BRCA1/2 Mutation.
Article in Journal of genetic counseling, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Genetic counseling and testing (GCT) for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers (HBOC) can inform treatment decisions in survivors. Black women at risk of HBOC have lower GCT engagement. There is limited data about Black survivors' experiences. The goals of this study were to: 1) examine the factors associated with HBOC knowledge and 2) assess the impact of knowledge on GCT engagement in a sample of Black survivors at risk of HBOC. Fifty Black at-risk breast/ovarian cancer survivors participated in a telephone-based survey. GCT use was measured across a continuum (awareness, referral, and use). The primary predictor variable was HBOC knowledge. Other clinical, socio-demographic, and psychosocial variables were included. Multiple linear and ordinal regression models (knowledge as the outcome and GCT as the outcome) assessed the predictors of knowledge and GCT engagement. Less than half (48 %) of survivors were referred to or used GCT services. Knowledge was moderate (M = 7.78, SD = 1.61). In the multivariable analysis, lower age (β = -.34, p = .01) and lower stage (β = -.318, p = .017) were associated with higher knowledge. Higher knowledge (β = .567, p = .006) and higher self-efficacy (β = .406, p = .001) were significantly associated with GCT engagement. Future interventions directed at increasing knowledge, self-efficacy, and improving the referral process are warranted.
