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

Objective: Given the promise of family communication to prompt cancer risk awareness, we examined how an offer for skin cancer genetic testing may prompt family cancer communication. Methods: Primary care patients ( Results: Findings showed no significant differences in frequency of family communication based on intervention exposure. Those who were tested and received higher-risk feedback displayed the highest levels of communication with certain targets, such as fathers. Some communication topics, such as the participant's risk of skin cancer, were discussed more by participants who were tested (both average- and higher-risk feedback) than those in usual care. Conclusion: Findings highlight that an offer for skin cancer genetic testing may prompt aspects of family communication, such as discussion surrounding personal skin cancer risk. Innovation: This study examined various elements of family communication after an offer for skin cancer genetic testing.
