The stability of quantitative blood count parameters using the ADVIA 2120i hematology analyzer.
Article in Practical laboratory medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the stability of complete blood count (CBC) parameters by measuring at multiple time points up to 72 h after venepuncture.
methods36 samples submitted for routine haematology were measured at 0, 8, 24, 48, 72 h. 18 samples were kept at room temperature (23-25 °C) and the other 18 at 4 °C. The stability of the CBC parameters was determined by comparing the results to the 0 h sample. White Blood Cell Count (WBC), Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, Red Blood Cell (RBC) count, Hematocrit (Hct), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Cellular Hemoglobin Concentration Mean (CHCM), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), RBC distribution width (RDW), Platelet (PLT) and Reticulocyte counts were studied.
resultsMost parameters were stable for 24 h at 4 °C, except for MCV, MCHC, CHCM and MPV. MCV and MPV increased after 8 h (
conclusionCBC measurements are reliable for 8 h when samples are stored at room temperature. The only parameter stable for 72 h at room temperature was Hb. Blood samples kept at 4 °C for up to 24 h are suitable for haematological analysis.
