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 anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the most prevalent etiologies of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, no robust mass screening methods have been developed to detect patients with CAKUT, making early intervention to prevent progressive renal failure challenging.MethodsWe applied tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to measure the creatinine (Cr) value from dried blood spot (DBS) analysis, which has been used for newborn mass screening. Subsequently, we evaluated the correlation between DBS Cr measured by MS/MS and serum Cr measured by the conventional method in pediatric patients with CKD. Finally, DBS Cr was measured in 190 full-term, healthy newborns on days 4-6 after birth.ResultsWe established a system of MS/MS-based measurement of Cr from DBS. Measured DBS Cr in the pediatric patients showed a strong association with serum Cr (r=0.86; P<0.01). The median DBS Cr value in newborns was 0.222 (interquartile range: 0.189, 0.269) mg/dl. No significant correlations were found between DBS Cr values and body weight, Apgar score, gestational age, and sex in newborns.ConclusionWe successfully established a method for MS/MS-based measurement of Cr for newborn screening and determined normal reference values for full-term newborns.
