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

Australia's newborn bloodspot screening (NBS) program is offered to every newborn. It screens for 34 rare conditions with the potential for hundreds more to be added using genomics. Despite NBS being available in Australia since the 1960s, there is a lack of evidence regarding the participation and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in NBS. As Australia considers a future where genomics might be used in NBS, there is a critical window of opportunity to understand and prioritise the perspectives, hopes and fears of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples regarding the utility of genomics in NBS.
