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

objectiveTo investigate the attitudes of Chinese parents regarding the storage of dried blood spots collected for newborn screening (NBS) and their use in research.

methodsWe conducted a hospital-based survey of parents and examined parental attitudes regarding (a) allowing NBS sample storage, (b) permitting use of children's NBS samples for research with parental permission, and (c) permitting use of children's NBS samples for research without parental permission.

resultsThe response rate was 52 percent. Of parents surveyed, 68 percent would permit their infant's NBS sample to be stored for at least some length of time. If permission is obtained, 69 percent of parents "strongly agreed" or "agreed" to permit use of the NBS sample for research. If permission is not obtained, only 14 percent of parents "strongly agreed" or "agreed." There was no significant association between permitting use of NBS samples for research and parental gender, education, household income, number of children, or site of residence.

conclusionsThis is the first survey of Chinese parents regarding the use of NBS samples for different types of research, with results indicating that most parents would permit their infant's sample to be stored and would support the use of NBS dried blood spots for research purposes.
