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 2011 French Bioethics Law regarding disclosure of genetic information within families enables health professionals to notify any at-risk relatives directly, with the patient's consent, using a template letter. To assess the impact of this template letter in terms of understanding, personal feelings and intent to contact a health professional, we conducted a study interviewing patients, members of the public and genetic professionals. Although the main response to the letter was anxiety, this was associated with good understanding of the content and most individuals mentioned intention to contact a health professional.
