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

The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the main issues related to the application of predictive medicine by analysing the most significant ethical implications. Genetic medicine is indeed a multidisciplinary matter that covers broad contexts, sometimes transversely. Its extreme complexity, coupled with possible perceived repercussions on an individual's life, involves important issues in the ethical, deontological and legal medical field. The aspects related to the execution of genetic testing have to be addressed at different levels, starting with the correct information about the "cognitive" meaning they intend (by forcefully disassociating it from the strange "preventive aspect") to the legal medical issues that can be aroused in the field of forensic pathology, medical responsibility and insurance. There is no doubt that in recent years, from the decoding of the human genome, genetic research has exponentially expanded with an equally exponential increase in its use in clinical practice and the ethical and social evolution of it.
