The Arrival of Exome Sequencing in French Prenatal Diagnosis: An Exploratory Qualitative Study Among Professionals in Prenatal Diagnosis Centers: Prenatome-SHS.
Article in Prenatal diagnosis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveFollowing the first French multicenter pilot study (AnDDI-Prenatome) focused on the implementation of prenatal exome sequencing (pES), this ancillary study aims to explore the ethical and clinical issues raised by pES within multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centers.
methods33 healthcare professionals involved in the management of couples undergoing prenatal diagnosis (PND) took part in focus groups (2 with clinical geneticists, 3 with professionals from multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centers (MPDC), 1 with biologists). Each focus group was analyzed using the thematic analysis method.
resultsProfessionals emphasized the importance of having a clear understanding of pES and the criteria for its prescription. Geneticists highlighted the need for a framework to clarify the implications of consent for patients and stressed the importance of offering structured support to assist couples in their decision-making process. Biologists and geneticists expressed a desire for effective multidisciplinary coordination of the care pathway, particularly in situations where the results were uncertain.
conclusionThese results will help to establish French recommendations for the prescription of pES.
