Evaluation of Team-Based Genetic Counseling Services in Korea.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundDespite growing interest in genetic counseling services in South Korea, limited studies have evaluated their effectiveness. Ongoing discussions in South Korea are examining the integration of team-based genetic counseling services into the Korean healthcare system. This study aimed to provide evidence for the integration of genetic counseling services into the healthcare system by evaluating genetic counseling outcomes and satisfaction after services were jointly provided by a medical geneticist and certified genetic counselors.
methodsFrom February to June 2023, we conducted a survey using the Korean version of the Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale (K-GCOS) and the Genetic Counseling Satisfaction Scale (GCSS) among 102 patients with genetic disorders and their families who received genetic counseling services provided by the genetics team.
resultsThe average time spent on genetic counseling was 43.9 minutes per patient, with preparation time of 59.9 minutes. The satisfaction scores for the genetic counseling services were overall high, specifically for the following items: "My genetic counselor helped me to identify what I needed to know to make decisions about what would happen to me (86.3%)," "The genetic counseling session was valuable to me (85.3%)," and "The genetic counseling session was about the right length of time I needed (83.3%)." Patients who received genetic counseling within 6 months of diagnosis had significantly higher K-GCOS scores than those who received counseling after 6 months (102.88 vs. 95.00,
conclusionThis study proposes a healthcare system in which a genetics team works collaboratively to provide genetic counseling. It also offers evidence for effectively integrating genetic counselors into the Korean healthcare system by evaluating the outcomes and satisfaction associated with team-based genetic counseling services.
