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

Although clinical geneticists have traditionally monopolized the administration of genetic tests, several genetic test companies have started producing affordable consumer tests for genetic screening and ancestry analysis. With genetic test kits readily available, patients are increasingly using personal genetic testing resources with the intention of sharing their results with their primary care physicians. Therefore, both medical professionals and patients need information and guidelines to interpret and act on personal genetic data. However, medical students, residents, and attending physicians have limited experience in handling the complexities involved in interpreting consumer genetic testing. Medical students, though, have shown significant interest in genetic testing and its application in their patients. Given the interest and need, medical education programs would best serve their students and patients through early education and training in clinical genetic testing.
