The Role, Importance of Genetic Counsellors and the Awareness of Genetic Counselling in Indian Scenario.

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 counselling is a critical component of genomic medicine, offering individuals and families support in understanding genetic risks, making informed decisions and adapting to potential genetic conditions. This commentary highlights the key roles of genetic counsellors in disease prevention, reproductive medicine and patient support. Pre-test counselling and informed consent ensure ethical and autonomous decision-making before genetic testing. The distinct yet complementary roles of genetic counsellors and clinical geneticists enhance comprehensive patient care. The case report illustrates the practical applications of genetic counselling involving a paediatric case of beta-thalassaemia. Genetic counselling plays a crucial role in reproductive medicine, particularly before pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, enabling couples to make informed reproductive choices. Additionally, it contributes to the prevention of genetic disorders by educating populations about consanguinity risks, carrier screening and early genetic interventions. The structured process of genetic counselling ensures patient-centred care from initial risk assessment to post-test support. Recognising genetic counselling as a distinct profession and integrating it into multidisciplinary healthcare teams will be essential in improving patient outcomes and advancing genomic medicine.
