A Comprehensive Approach to Clinical Decision Support in the Return of Genome Informed Risk Assessments to Primary Care Pediatricians.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2025. 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
backgroundPrimary care pediatricians play an important role in genetic testing, including referrals, test ordering, responding to results, assessing risk, treatment, and managing care. As genetic testing rapidly evolves to include new tests identifying patients at risk for certain conditions, alert-based clinical decision support is insufficient in assisting pediatric primary care providers in working with patients, parents, genetics, and other specialties. Supporting pediatricians in the return of these results requires addressing gaps in genetics training and integrating genetics into practice with education, information resources, and specialized tools.
objectivesThis study aimed to capture requirements for developing systems and processes to support primary care pediatricians in the return of genome-informed risk assessments.
methodsWe performed a requirements analysis to inform the design of clinical decision support tools and processes for pediatric providers of patients who received a genome informed risk assessment, a novel test that combines polygenic risk scores with patient and family histories to deliver a risk assessment for common medical conditions. We developed an interview guide consisting of scenario presentations, questionnaires, and semi-structured questions to elicit provider responses on a broad set of requirements to manage results with patients and caregivers.
resultsTwenty providers from 10 primary care pediatric practices within a single health system participated in the study. The findings demonstrated that providers feel responsible to be involved in the process of returning results but require a support system that integrates education, provider and patient information resources, effective communication with genetics, and electronic health record decision support tools that can accommodate a range of clinical scenarios and provider workflow preferences.
conclusionSupporting providers with the return of genetic testing results such as the genome informed risk assessment requires a comprehensive approach to decision support consisting of education, communication, and a comprehensive and integrated set of electronic health record tools.
