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

Universal newborn screening for a range of mostly inherited metabolic and endocrine disorders, started in mid-1960ies, is a success story of preventive medicine. New technological advances particularly in the last 10-15 years have led to an expansion of newborn screening in many countries. This has allowed introduction of sometimes life-saving preventive measures in more children, but it has also become more obvious that screening may not be prudent for all conditions in which it is technically feasible. The present article provides criteria that have been used or discussed for the inclusion of "new" disorders in newborn screening programs, and highlights exemplary metabolic disorders that illustrate imminent challenges. In order to secure long-term acceptance of universal newborn screening within the society, its aims and contents should be determined through a transparent decision finding process. This may best be achieved through the establishment of a representative newborn screening advisory board.
