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

Purpose: Workplace genetic testing (wGT) is a wellness benefit offered to employees, providing a new access point for genetic testing. Although genetic counseling is not typically required in wGT, genetic counselors (GCs) play a key role in integrating genetic testing into health care and may interact with wGT in industry, laboratory, or clinical settings. Methods: To ascertain US GCs' perspectives and experiences with wGT, we administered a web-based survey, targeting GCs most likely to have professional experience with wGT. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize responses. Results: Of Conclusion: GC participants demonstrated qualified support for wGT and favored limited employer access to, and use of, employees' wGT data. As genetic testing avenues expand, these findings can inform the effective implementation of wGT and testing in nonclinical settings.
