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

Ashkenazi Jewish women are at significantly increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) due to the high prevalence of BRCA founder variants. Community-based organizations (CBOs) offer culturally tailored support through programs like peer support and genetic education, but limited research has explored how these services are offered and utilized in this population. Therefore, we conducted a secondary analysis of post-program survey data from N = 1054 women served by a national cancer support organization. Among high-risk Ashkenazi Jewish women (N = 429), we examined patterns of genetic education and peer support program offering and utilization, patient navigation (PN) quality, care satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (QoL). Among high-risk Ashkenazi Jewish women, 78% were offered peer support and 33% utilized it; 59% were offered genetic education and 17% utilized it. Notably, women with poorer QoL were significantly more likely to be offered (χ
