High false positive rate of white blood cells in urine samples of pregnant women may be caused by epithelial cells being misclassified by the sysmex UF-1000i urine flow cytometer.

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
backgroundThe UF-1000i has been widely used in screening urinary sediments. However, the interference factor of the UF-1000i in the screening urinary sediments of pregnant women has not been reported. The aim of the study was to demonstrate that epithelial cells (ECs) cause a high false positive rate of white blood cells (WBCs) by the UF-1000i in pregnant women.
methodsUrine samples were collected from 207 pregnant women. All samples were measured by the UF-1000i and a microscopic method.
resultsThe areas under the curve (AUC) for WBC and EC counts were 0.837 (95% CI, 0.773-0.901) and 0.844 (95% CI, 0.785-0.903), respectively. The positive rates of the WBC and EC were 73.43% and 37.20%, respectively, by the UF-1000i, and they were 19.32% and 72.95% by the microscopic method. The positive predictive value, negative predictive value, false positive rates, and false negative rates by the UF-1000i were for WBC 25.66%, 98.18%, 74.34%, and 1.82%, respectively, and for EC they were 96.1%, 40.77%, 3.9%, and 59.23%, respectively. The coefficient of correlation R value was 0.503 (P < 0.01) between WBC by UF-1000i and EC by the microscopic method in WBC false positive samples.
conclusionsEC could be an interference factor for the UF-1000i in screening urinary WBC of pregnant women, and the high false positive rate for WBC may be caused by ECs being misclassified as WBCs by the UF-1000i. © 2018 The Authors.
