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

purposeThe current Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute standard recommends blood collection from 24 to 48 hours after birth for newborn genetic disorder screening. We used California population-level data to determine whether early specimens (collected from 12 to 23 hours) would also be considered satisfactory based on screening performance.

methodsScreening data from California Genetic Disease Screening Program were analyzed for false-negative and false-positive rates in four disease categories: metabolic disorders detectable by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS); congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH); congenital hypothyroidism (CH); and initial immune reactive trypsinogen (IRT) for cystic fibrosis (CF). We compared the rates between the early-collection group (12 to 23 hours) and the standard-collection group (24 to 48 hours).

resultsNo significant difference of false-negative rate was detected between the two collection-timing groups. Early specimens had a significantly higher false-positive rate for CH (0.10 vs. 0.01%) and IRT (1.85 vs. 1.54%) but a lower false-positive rate for MSMS metabolic disorders (0.11 vs. 0.18%) and CAH (0.10 vs. 0.14%).

conclusionNewborn specimens collected after 12 hours provided satisfactory screening performance. A policy allowing earlier collection could improve timeliness of reporting screening results.
