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
Purpose: Investigation of genetic counseling-related published papers offers a historical assessment of the cumulative scientific knowledge produced by members of the profession and can be the basis for future practice, training, and research. This paper aims to present a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling publications in Asia. Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling-related manuscripts published in Asia from 1947 to 2023. We excluded articles published in 2024 given an incomplete year of data source. The articles were retrieved through the Scopus database using the search terms "genetic counsel∗" OR "genomic counsel∗" in the article titles. The bibliographic information was downloaded and analyzed descriptively through Microsoft Excel. Network visualization was done through VOSViewer. Results: A total of 449 genetic counseling-related publications authored by at least one researcher from Asian countries were identified. The most common publication type was original articles (332, 74%) and a total of 299 manuscripts were published from 2012 to 2023, representing 66.5% (299/449) of total publications. Among Asian countries, India had the highest number of publications accounting for 19.4% of the total ( Conclusion: There is an overall increase in the number of genetic counseling publications authored by at least one researcher affiliated with an Asian institution. This increase has corresponded to various developments in genetic counseling in the continent and is possibly driven by collaboration between and among Asian researchers and other researchers outside of Asia. The analysis of keywords also shows the evolution of topics of genetic counseling publications which also corresponded to the development of genetic counseling as a profession in the region.
