Trial report in American journal of perinatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07077707 (A Randomized Trial of Chatbot for Prenatal Genetic Counseling), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeThis project developed and evaluated the efficacy of a game decision aid among pregnant women about prenatal screening in a randomized controlled study. STUDY

designParticipants were recruited from an obstetric clinic of an academic urban medical center and randomized (

resultParticipants who played the game had higher knowledge scores (

conclusionThe addition of a game decision aid was effective in educating pregnant women about prenatal screening. As other genetic testing decisions continue to increase within clinical care, game-based decision tools may be a constructive method of informed decision-making.
