Analysis of hemoglobin A1c from dried blood spot samples with the Tina-quantR II immunoturbidimetric method.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been endorsed as a tool for the diagnosis of diabetes. This test requires instrumentation that may not be available in underdeveloped areas. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples collected by finger stick procedures offer a mechanism to transport samples to laboratories that do measure HbA1c.
methodsWhole blood (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) was applied to Ahlstrom 226 filter paper. These DBS samples were compared to whole blood samples using the Roche Tina-quant II immunoturbidometric assay. Hemoglobin A1c stability on DBS was assessed at three temperatures-4, 25, and 40 degrees C-for up to 9 days. A 44-day study was also done for DBS at 20-25 degrees C.
resultsThe Tina-quant II DBS method showed excellent agreement with whole blood HbA1c results (r(2) = 0.99) with a slight positive mean bias of 0.08 +/- 0.04% HbA1c (95% confidence interval). The variation in HbA1c on DBS samples subjected to different temperatures and times did not exceed 5.6%.
conclusionsDried blood spot samples represent an alternative to whole blood for HbA1c by measurement when transporting whole blood is not feasible.
