Public attitudes towards the genetic testing in Georgia.
Article in Journal of community genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The aim of this study is to assess attitudes towards genetic testing in Georgian public. We used a Likert-scale written questionnaire. The survey was completed by 480 respondents. A majority of respondents (75.3%) curious about predictive genetic testing and 40.6% of participants preferred to be tested only for disorders that are treatable or preventable. Approximately 65% of the participants would like to test their newborn children for late-onset disorders and undergo preconception carrier screening (73%). In addition, the majority (59%) of our respondents were not worried that genetic testing would further stigmatize people with disabilities. These results indicate that the respondents surveyed in our study may have placed particularly high importance on the availability of genetic testing and greatly valued access to genomic information.
