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

backgroundThe cell population data (CPD) measured by Sysmex XN-9000 can be used for screening many hematological and non-hematological disorders. Since little information is available on harmonization of CPD among different instrumentation and clinical laboratories, this study aimed at assessing the current degree of CPD harmonization between separate Sysmex XN modules allocated to the same laboratory.

methodsA total number of 78291 data were used for verification of within-run imprecision, analyzers harmonization, reference ranges and assessment of blood sample stability of CPD parameters, including results of daily quality control testing and those generated in samples collected from blood donors and healthy volunteers.

resultsWithin-run imprecision of CPD parameters ranged between 0.4 and 14.1%. Good agreement was found among five different XN-modules, especially when values were adjusted after calculation of instrument-specific alignment factors. The bias of all parameters remained always lower than the reference change values in samples stored for up to 8 hours, regardless of storage temperature.

conclusionsThe imprecision of CPD parameters was acceptable, except for those reflecting the dispersion of cellular clusters. Due to the lack of reference control materials, we showed that the use of data generated on a large number of normal routine samples (i.e., a Moving Average population) may be a reliable approach for testing analyzers harmonization. Nevertheless, availability of both calibration and quality control materials for these parameters is highly advisable in the future. We finally showed that whole blood samples may be stable for up to 2-4 hours for most CPD parameters.
