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

This study presents a 5-year retrospective analysis of genetic counseling (GC) services for hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) at a single center in Bulgaria. The aim is to describe the demographic and epidemiological characteristics of patients seeking GC, the uptake of genetic testing, and the spectrum of identified pathogenic variants. The results highlight an increasing trend in GC utilization. Key findings include differences in patient profiles between those seeking general HCS assessment and those undergoing tumor biomarker testing, the impact of financial accessibility on genetic testing uptake, and a pathogenic variant detection rate of 28% in tested individuals. The most frequently identified conditions were Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and Lynch Syndrome, with pathogenic variants detected in genes such as
