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

Genetic testing for cancer susceptibility underpins precision cancer prevention and care. Gaps in the healthcare providers' genetic literacy and an ambiguous lexicon for variant description may hinder proper delivery and clinical application of consistently trustworthy test results. The Evidence-based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) international consortium supports controlled terminology and recommends a framework for reporting germline variants in cancer susceptibility genes, using breast cancer as an exemplar. Moving forward towards terminological coherence across disciplines and borders, the ENIGMA Clinical Working Group launched a multinational effort to release consortium-approved translations of the published recommendations. The herein reported Vocabulary Translation Project offered an opportunity to reappraise and align the reference text to the recent
