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

Background: Genetic testing for likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants (PV) in Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 3,472 HFMs who underwent genetic testing. Demographic data were collected, and the presence of PVs was assessed. Statistical comparisons were made between individuals with and without known familial PVs, and between male and female participants, using descriptive statistics and proportion comparisons. Results: Of the 3,472 HFMs tested, 87.6% were female and 12.4% male, with a mean age of 41.1 ± 13.0 years. Notably, 78.6% were younger than 51 years, the typical age for initiating standard screening. PVs were identified in 683 individuals (19.7%). Among those with a known familial PV (n = 1,009), 41.8% were carriers, compared to 8.0% among those without a known familial PV (n = 2,408). Males were more likely to be tested when a familial PV was known (26.6%) than when it was not (6.6%), and 34.0% of tested males were PV carriers. PVs were found in 23 different genes, with Conclusion: The findings highlight the value of genetic testing in identifying at-risk individuals among HFMs of BCOC patients. The predominance of
