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

purposeThe purpose of this in-depth interview study was to explore how parents of children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) experienced genetic testing and whether they experienced risks and benefits.

backgroundMost children with SNHL have a genetic etiology, which can be identified through genetic sequencing. A genetic test does not influence treatment, and whether patients and parents perceived genetic tests as valuable is unclear.

methodsIn this study, 10 parents of children with SNHL who underwent genetic testing were interviewed, and the content was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

resultsThree global themes were identified. In the first theme, (1)

conclusionThe main conclusion was that parents experienced that genetic testing provided valuable personal information and had practical implications. However, a genetic diagnosis can cause concern and may affect family planning.
