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
This study assessed the implementation of a tele-genetic counseling (TGC) pathway for hereditary melanoma risk using the culturally adapted Italian Melanoma Intergroup Tele-Genomics Outcome Scale (IMI-TGOS) questionnaire. Among 278 eligible patients, 177 (64%) completed the survey across three Italian centers. Responses showed high comprehension and perceived utility: 88% of participants reported understanding the information received, 96% recognized familial implications, and over 85% felt confident in managing risk and making decisions. While emotional responses were more varied, most respondents expressed confidence in future planning. These findings confirm the feasibility, acceptability, and informativeness of the IMI-TGOS in a remote counseling setting. The study supports the comparability of tele-genetic and in-person counseling in terms of understanding, retention, and decision-making. Moreover, the IMI-TGOS emerged as a promising tool for evaluating real-world genetic services. Broader adoption may help monitor outcomes and improve quality and equity in the expanding landscape of digital genetic care.
