Effect of prenatal genetic counseling on anxiety and test attitudes in pregnant women: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of prenatal genetic counseling on pregnant women's anxiety levels and attitudes towards prenatal diagnostic tests.
methodThis randomized controlled trial was conducted on 66 pregnant women who visited the Medical Genetics outpatient clinic of Adana City Hospital between September and December 2022. Data were collected using descriptive information forms, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), Prenatal Screening and Diagnostic Tests Attitude Questionnaire (PSDTAQ). Data were analyzed using change-score analysis, linear mixed-effects models including group, time, and group × time interaction, and ANCOVA adjusted for baseline score, income, education, and gestational age. Effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals were also calculated.
resultsAfter adjustment for baseline values and potential confounders, prenatal genetic counseling significantly reduced STAI-S scores and improved PSDTAQ scores compared with routine care (p < 0.001).
conclusionThese findings support the potential role of nurse-led prenatal genetic counseling in reducing anxiety and improving attitudes toward prenatal testing. Larger multicenter studies with longer follow-up are required before educational or policy recommendations can be made.
