Enhancing Parents' Experiences of Paediatric Genomic Testing in Usual Outpatient Care: Insights From a Multi-Perspective Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of paediatrics and child health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimThe aim of this research was to explore what makes (or would make) for good genomic care delivered wholly or in part by paediatricians.
methodsAn interpretive description, qualitative study with parents of children offered genomic testing as an outpatient for a condition other than cancer; general and subspecialist paediatricians; nurses; and genetic counsellors. Data were primarily collected retrospectively and analysed using inductive content analysis. Interpretation was enriched by the involvement of parent and paediatrician project advisors.
resultsTwenty-five parents and 20 health professionals participated. Most parents had received a genetic diagnosis for a child presenting with neurodevelopmental delay and/or epilepsy. Key aspects of good genomic care identified included: adopting a slow, multi-appointment approach to discussing genomic testing in certain instances; letting families know what to expect; signposting to information and psychosocial support services when disclosing results; communicating next steps; and adopting a team approach to aid sense-making. Paediatricians were not expected to do everything, with ongoing roles for genetic experts described. At different stages of the testing process, paediatricians existing and ongoing relationships with families were identified as an asset in helping promote good experiences.
conclusionGenomic testing in usual paediatric outpatient care can be delivered well, with this research yielding practical guidance for paediatricians. Ongoing evaluation as models of care evolve will support the delivery of high-quality genomic care that best meets families' needs.
