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

Most individuals with hereditary cancer syndromes remain undiagnosed and cannot benefit from cancer mitigation strategies. Mainstreaming, or the process of integrating genetic testing into routine care, can expand access, but implementation in primary care settings has proven challenging. In a quality improvement initiative, stakeholder feedback guided the development of care algorithms, patient/provider resources, and streamlined lab workflows for mainstreaming in an urban, diverse, Medicaid-predominant benign gynecology clinic. The mainstreaming initiative was launched in December 2024; over the subsequent four months, 274 consecutive patients presented for gynecologic care and 32 (11.7%) completed same-day genetic testing. This model demonstrates a feasible and scalable approach to integrating genetic testing into benign gynecology clinics serving diverse patient populations.
