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

purpose of reviewGenetic testing has become an important element in the care of patients with inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs). The purpose of this review is to provide clinicians with insights into the utility of genetic testing as well as challenges associated with interpreting results. RECENT

findingsGenetic testing may be indicated for individuals who are affected with or who have family histories of various ICCs. Various testing options are available and determining the most appropriate test for any given clinical scenario is key when interpreting results. Newly published guidelines as well as various publicly accessible tools are available to clinicians to help with interpretation of genetic findings; however the subjectivity with respect to variant classification can make accurate assessment challenging. Genetic information can provide highly useful and relevant information for patients, their family members, and their healthcare providers. Given the potential ramifications of variant misclassification, expertise in both clinical phenotyping and molecular genetics is imperative in order to provide accurate diagnosis, management recommendations, and family risk assessment for this patient population.
