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

aimTo validate a Competency Framework for Genomics Nurse Educators, strengthening the genomics-informed nursing workforce. BACKGROUND/

introductionA pressing global need for nurse educators equipped to build genomic literacy within the profession prompted the International Society of Nurses in Genetics to develop the Competency Framework for Genomic Nurse Educators.

methodsA draft framework was refined using literature and stakeholder input guided by an evidence-based model for competency framework development. A modified Delphi study with an international panel of genomics nurse experts completed a three-round Delphi study. Methodology and reporting adhere to EQUATOR guidelines using the CONFERD-HP and CREDES checklists.

resultsA 24-member panel-with genomic nursing expertise spanning 13 countries-validated a set of competency statements organized into three domains covering foundational knowledge, genomics-specific teaching approaches, and contribution to the discipline through leadership and academic-practice partnerships. DISCUSSION: These competencies address essential aspects of genomics nursing education and respond to increasing demand for specialization within academic nursing education.

conclusionThe validated framework addresses gaps in global genomic nursing education. This framework supports a focused approach to genomics education, preparing a new generation of nurse educators to meet the challenges of precision health. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Implementing this framework can standardize genomics education, strengthen faculty development, and ensure nurses are prepared to practice genomics-informed nursing. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY: Completion of the framework affirms genomics nursing education as a distinct specialty, laying groundwork for formal credentialing and shaping education priorities. Increasing the number of nurse educators with genomic expertise can strengthen academic-practice partnerships and foster global collaboration, ultimately supporting the equitable integration of precision health in nursing worldwide.
