Physician Perception of the Importance of Medical Genetics and Genomics in Medical Education and Clinical Practice.
Article in Medical education online, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeThe objective of this study was to determine physician perceptions regarding the importance of and comfort with the use of medical genetics and genomics in medical education and practice, as well as physician expectations for medical trainees.
methodsA retrospective survey was sent to physicians employed by a health system associated with a public medical school to assess their perceived training in medical genetics and genomics and their comfort level with ordering genetic testing.
methodsDespite reporting formal genetics training in medical schools, clinicians' comfort with and knowledge in this content area does not meet personal expectations of competency. Though physicians report some discomfort with the use of medical genetics and genomics, the majority also believe that its impact on practice will increase in the next five years. Survey recipients were also asked about their expectations for preparation in the same domains for medical students and incoming residents. The surveyed physicians expect a high level of competency for medical students and incoming residents.
methodsOur study revealed that practicing physicians feel current medical curricula do not produce physicians with the necessary competency in medical genetics and genomics. This is despite physicians' perceived importance of this domain in medical practice. Our findings suggest a need for re-evaluation of medical genetics and genomics education at all levels of training.
