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

purposeDeaf/hard of hearing (HoH) individuals can benefit from precision medicine research (PMR) but are underrepresented in mainstream health research and may experience barriers to participation. Understanding their views and concerns about PMR can inform processes to foster inclusion in future studies and reduce health disparities.

methodsWe administered an online disability-accessible survey to explore perceptions of PMR among, inter alia, deaf/HoH individuals. Questions included willingness to participate, interest in results, and barriers and facilitators to participation. Analyses describe results for participants who self-identified their primary condition as being deaf/HoH and compared results for key demographic characteristics.

resultsA total of 267 deaf/HoH participants completed the survey. Interest in PMR was high, although many reported inaccessible facilities and information about medical research; 51% reported that communication with health professionals is a barrier. Concerns about harm, lack of access to benefits, misinformed allocation decisions, and limited disability-relevant knowledge among researchers and health care providers were significant. Differences across racial, ethnic, and sex groups were observed and are discussed.

conclusionStrategies to remove barriers to participation of deaf/HoH individuals in PMR are suggested. Distrust is a major challenge for cohort diversity, and research is needed to identify measures to increase the trustworthiness of PMR endeavors.
