Quality performance of newborn screening systems: strategies for improvement.
Article in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Newborn metabolic screening is a public health activity with the potential to realize significant health gains for infants affected with a range of congenital conditions. Many of these are inborn errors of metabolism. The activities required to achieve the gains are diverse and carried out by a number of organizations, by families and by many health care professionals. Laboratories have the best-developed quality strategies, which include quality assurance programmes, guidelines, protocols and standards. Two-tier testing and use of multiple markers improve sensitivity and specificity. There are international initiatives to harmonize assay materials and definitions to allow better benchmarking between programmes. Outside the laboratory, standards, education and protocols improve the quality of specimen collection, diagnosis and treatment, which together produce the health gains.
