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

Advances in genomic sequencing (GS) have transformed personalised treatment strategies for genetic diseases across a diverse array of clinical indications, resulting in notable public health progress. However, limited evidence on the broader psychosocial and economic impacts hinders its widespread adoption in healthcare systems. The launch of genome projects offers an opportunity to address the unmet needs of a wide range of genetic diseases. This Perspective examines the multi-dimensional effectiveness of GS and summarises indicators and measurement tools for psychosocial and economic outcomes. It highlights priority areas identified by the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research Consortium. Drawing on initiatives such as the Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project and Australian Genomics initiative, this article showcases best practices in selecting outcome measures for assessing the effectiveness of GS in policy and practice. This Perspective intends to equip future studies with a strategic and sustainable approach for outcome-oriented research within genome projects, facilitating evidence-based clinical implementation of GS in an appropriate, equitable and efficient manner.
