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

Purpose: The integration of cardiovascular genetic (CVG) testing into clinical practice is gaining recognition, but its implementation in the Asian setting has not been widely reported. We present our experience developing a clinical CVG service and analyze its impact on patient care at our center. Methods: In 2020, the National Heart Centre Singapore collaborated with SingHealth Duke-NUS Genomic Medicine Centre, to establish a comprehensive clinical CVG service. We retrospectively gathered details regarding referral indication and the clinical utility of genetic counseling and testing. Results: Over a period of 2.5 years, 113 patients aged 17 to 94 years, were seen by the CVG team. The cohort included 79 males and 34 females: 82 of Chinese ancestry, 11 Indian, 7 Malay, and 13 from other ancestries. The most common reason for referral was for cardiomyopathy, followed by aortopathy. After clinical evaluation, 98 patients were offered genetic testing, of which 63 (64%) patients proceeded with genetic testing (diagnostic testing Conclusion: Our pilot initiative has provided insights into the practical value, obstacles, and opportunities for developing a clinical CVG service. The establishment of our clinical CVG service not only enhanced patient care but also demonstrated its scalability through collaborative partnerships with domain experts.
