Knowledge of Genetic Counseling Among Patients With Breast Cancer and Their Relatives at a Nigerian Teaching Hospital.
Article in Journal of global oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Breast cancer prevalence continues to increase globally, and a significant proportion of the disease has been linked to genetic susceptibility. As we enter the era of precision medicine, genetics knowledge and skills are increasingly essential for achieving optimal cancer prevention and care. However, in Nigeria, patients with breast cancer and their relatives are less knowledgeable about genetic susceptibility to chronic diseases. This pilot study collected qualitative data during in-depth interviews with 21 participants. Of these, 19 participants were patients with breast cancer and two were relatives of patients with breast cancer. Participants were asked questions regarding their knowledge of breast cancer, views on heredity and breast cancer, and views on genetic counseling. Participants' family histories were used as a basis with which to assess their hereditary risk of breast cancer. Participant responses were audio recorded and transcribed manually. The study evaluated patients' and relatives' knowledge of genetic counseling and the use of family history for the assessment of familial risk of breast cancer. This will serve as a guide to the processes of establishing a cancer risk assessment clinic.
