Pediatrician involvement in communicating positive newborn screening results for Krabbe disease: barriers, facilitators, and ideas for interventions.
Article in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundIn 2024, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services added infantile Krabbe disease to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for Newborn Screening (NBS). Families have previously expressed wanting their established general outpatient pediatrics clinicians involved in sharing NBS results. In this study, we aimed to understand pediatrics clinicians' perspectives on barriers, facilitators, and ideas for interventions regarding their involvement in sharing positive NBS results for Krabbe disease.
methodsWe conducted individual semi-structured interviews with clinicians (physicians and advanced practice providers) in general outpatient pediatrics in Western Pennsylvania. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Two coders performed content analysis, coding transcripts, and identifying themes with representative quotations. Themes were mapped to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.
resultsTwenty-five clinicians participated. Barriers, facilitators, and ideas for interventions spanned the individual level, inner setting, and outer setting of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Barriers included: limited clinician knowledge of Krabbe disease, time in the clinical schedule, and accessibility of specialists. Facilitators included: prior clinical training in communicating serious diagnoses, protected time for Continuing Medical Education activities, and trustworthy online medical resources. Ideas for interventions included: fact sheets/scripts/algorithms for clinicians; integration of clinician education with NBS result notifications; and improvements in care coordination with specialists.
conclusionsWhile primary care pediatrics noted lack of time, knowledge, and access to specialists as barriers to sharing Krabbe disease newborn screening with families, they highlighted that communication tools/tips, easy training or access to disease information, and assistance coordinating specialty care would facilitate their involvement.
