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

This manuscript reviewed the state of the art about the teaching and training of human resources for genetics and genomics in Brazil. We presented the national scenario of teaching genetics in medical undergraduate and other health courses. We discussed the training of medical geneticists through medical residency and addressed the training in genetics of physicians from specialties other than genetics. We examined the training of health professionals specializing in genetics through lato sensu and stricto sensu postgraduate programs and presented the proposals for multi-professional residency in genetic counseling and genetics and genomics that are currently the subject of discussion in the country. Finally, we highlighted the importance of training primary health care professionals concerning genetics and genomics for the effective establishment of a line of care for individuals with genetic disorders in the Brazilian Unified Health System. Therefore, we provided a thorough overview of how genetics is (or is not) incorporated into professional training in a comprehensive public healthcare system such as the Brazilian.
