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

backgroundCongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a disorder-an ideal candidate to deserve newborn screening. CAH accounts for a significant mortality and morbidity in India, and its awareness among obstetricians should be treated as highly important to prevent the problem. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: It is very important for a country like India as the incidence of CAH is reasonably high justifying screening program. However, there are simple logistics that need to be followed, and the treating physicians need to be aware of, if one has to reduce the number of false positives and recalls.

methodsThis article takes one through the steps involved in the analysis, interpretation, and reasons for false positives, why the false positives, so that unnecessary calls to parents for repeat sampling are minimized along with the emphasis and the need for the routine screening for CAH. RESULTS/

conclusionThe results of samples can vary depending on the gestational age of the baby, weight of the baby, sampling time, and the knowledge of these data to the treating Obstetrician and Pediatrician is of paramount importance in preventing repeat samples and frustration for the family and the people involved.
