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

Genetic risk analysis is increasingly in demand by participants. Hybrid genetic testing has the advantage over direct to consumer testing by involving a physician who guides the process and offers counseling after receiving the results. The objective of this study was to determine whether a structured physician moderated primary preventive, hybrid genetic risk assessment enhanced counseling program leads to improvement in lifestyle and does not impair quality of life. Risk genes for malignant, cardiovascular, coagulation, storage diseases and pharmacogenetics (> 100 genes) were tested. Screening, consultation and genetic counseling embedded in a primary/secondary prevention check-up program for executives of surrounding companies took place in a single center in Germany. Follow-up included established questionnaires for quality of life, nutrition and physical activity. Analysis included n = 244 participants. Median age at baseline was 49 years (interquartile range: 44-55), 93% were male, 3% (n = 7 of 136 responses) were smoker. Mean body mass index was 25.2 kg/m
