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

backgroundThe global prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly. Measurement of glycated hemoglobin, predominantly HbA1c, is fundamental to the management of patients with diabetes. HbA1c is used to monitor long-term glycemic control, adjust therapy, assess the quality of diabetes care and predict the risk for the development of complications. While HbA1c is the standard method for long-term glycemic control in diabetic patients, there are different methods for measurement of HbA1c and all laboratories do not use the reference method (high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]). The objective of this study is comparison of three different methods with HPLC to find out which method has an acceptable concordance and correlation with the reference method. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifty-eight diabetic patients were assessed in this study. The blood sample of each patient was checked with Diazyme (enzymatic assay), Nycocard (boronate-affinity binding) and Biosystem (micro column chromatography). The values of HbA1c of each method were compared with the Knauer-HPLC results.

resultsTHE MEANS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL VALUES BETWEEN EACH METHOD AND HPLC IN THE ANOVA TEST ARE AS FOLLOWS: M = 1.8, SD = 1.09 for Nycocard-HPLC; M = 1.5, SD = 1.08 for biosystem-HPLC; M = 1.3, SD = 1.2 for Diazyme-HPLC. Pearson's correlation coefficient between HPLC and Nycocard; 0.76, HPLC and Diazyme; 0.75 and between HPLC and Biosystem was 0.68. Linear regression parameters for each method with HPLC were also determined.

conclusionDiazyme had a better performance and showed a greater concordance with HPLC among others, although it was not an ideal alternative for HPLC.
