Mapping the use of cardiovascular genetic services in pediatric clinical care: challenges and opportunities for improvement.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2024. 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
Purpose: Clinical genetic testing is increasingly integrated in managing and diagnosing cardiac conditions and disease. It is important to identify ongoing challenges. This study aimed to better understand how genetic testing is integrated into pediatric cardiac care and identify barriers and opportunities for improvement. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews with pediatric cardiology clinicians (N = 12). Following a journey mapping approach to data analysis, we described genetic testing workflow phases, participants' thoughts and behaviors within each phase, and barriers and opportunities for improvement. Results: Participants described several challenges across the genetic testing workflow, from identifying patients for testing to disclosing results to the patients. Testing logistics, decision-making, and collaboration emerged as the most prominent challenges. Variation remains in the utilization of genetic testing, partially driven by case complexity and type of testing and attributable to other factors, like the level of interaction with genetics experts and inconsistent processes within the electronic medical record. Conclusion: Clinical genetic pediatric cardiology requires more systematic integration of genetic testing and transparent processes. Major opportunities include the interplay between clinicians, genetic experts, and the EMR. Incorporating process mapping results into clinical logistics may eradicate some barriers experienced by pediatric cardiologists and increase clinical efficiency.
