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

A survey was conducted to determine attitudes, knowledge, and educational needs of mental health professionals regarding pharmacogenomics. We recruited 128 clinicians working in mental health in England, and we assessed their experiences using an adapted version of the "U-PGx Clinician's Questionnaire". Responding clinicians had positive attitudes towards pharmacogenomics testing, although they lacked confidence in ordering and interpreting tests, for which most had never received any formal training. Only 6% of clinicians answered all 4 knowledge testing questions correctly, and barriers to clinical implementation included lack of familiarity and knowledge for several pharmacogenomics concepts, such as drug metabolism and genetics, as well as needing support from their working institution. Looking ahead, we found that accredited workshops and patient cases were preferred learning formats, and we suggest tailored education programmes to enable mental health professionals to apply pharmacogenomics in clinical practice.
