Quality specifications and their daily application to evaluate the accuracy of reference measurements for serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D
Article in Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundReference measurement procedures (RMP) have rigorous accuracy specifications. For total 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D, bias ≤1.7% and CV ≤5% are recommended. These quality specifications are impractical for minor analytes, such as 25(OH)D
methodsTo assess accuracy, we used zeta-scores. Daily, 5-10 specimens (duplicate) and 3 reference materials (singleton or duplicate) were measured for 25(OH)D
resultsAcross 7 campaigns, unacceptable daily zeta-scores required repeating 2 runs for 25(OH)D
conclusionsUsing zeta-scores and experimentally derived imprecision, we developed a straightforward approach to assess the acceptability of individual 25(OH)D reference measurements, providing also much-needed practical accuracy specifications for 25(OH)D
