Proposed Addendum to 2012 Recommendations for Standardised Reporting of Protein Electrophoresis in Australia and New Zealand.

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
It is apparent that there is a need for greater harmonisation of the reporting and quantification of paraproteins on protein electrophoresis with the introduction of the electronic health record and recent survey findings indicating ongoing areas of heterogeneity on serum protein electrophoresis. The proposed addendum aims to update the 2012 recommendations for standardised reporting of protein electrophoresis in Australia and New Zealand. The sections which need to be updated include those on the quantification of gamma- and non-gamma-migrating paraproteins; interpretive commenting in specimens with a paraprotein and/or small abnormal bands; the utility of serum free light chains compared with Bence Jones protein measurement; and a new table with interpretive commenting for serum free light chains. It is expected that such standardised reporting will reduce both variation between laboratories and the risk of misinterpretation of results.
