Feasibility of the Genetic Information Assistant Chatbot to Provide Genetic Education and Study Genetic Test Adoption Among Pancreatic Cancer Patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

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
Genetic testing is a valuable tool to guide care of pancreatic cancer patients, yet personal and family uncertainty about the benefits of genetic testing (i.e., decisional conflict) may lead to low adoption. Enabling patients to learn more about genetic testing before their scheduled appointments may help to address this decisional conflict problem. We completed a feasibility assessment of a chatbot to provide genetic education (GEd) with 60 pancreatic cancer patients and using the chatbot to deliver surveys to assess: (a) opinions about the GEd, and (b) decisional conflict about genetic testing. Findings demonstrate intervention and study feasibility with about 80% of participants engaging with the GEd chatbot, 71% of which completed at least one survey. Overall, participants appear to have favorable opinions of the chatbot-delivered education and thought it was helpful to decide about genetic testing. Furthermore, patients who chose to get genetic testing spent more time interacting with the chatbot. Findings will be used to improve chatbot design and to facilitate a well-powered future trial.
