Redefined Core Competencies for Genetic Counselors in Canada to Reflect an Evolving Workforce.
Article in Journal of genetic counseling, 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
The Canadian Association of Genetic Counsellors (CAGC) and the Canadian Board of Genetic Counselling (CBGC) undertook a joint review of the Practice-Based Competencies (PBCs) for Canadian genetic counselors in 2025 to ensure they reflect current practice expectations within an evolving genetic and genomic landscape. A working group of four certified genetic counselors conducted an evidence-informed revision process that incorporated national surveys of practicing genetic counselors, consultations with educational and diversity committees, and input from a competency framework expert. The updated framework defines five core competencies, namely Genetics and Genomics Expertise, Communication, Counseling, Evidence-Informed Practice, and Ethical and Values-Driven Behaviors, which are further supported by 21 sub-competencies. These competencies outline the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors required of a minimally competent genetic counselor in Canada. The revised competencies provide a unified, current standard for practice in Canada, aligning professional education and certification requirements. They promote consistency, accountability, and quality in genetic counseling services across diverse patient-facing and non-patient-facing settings.
