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

objectivesThe use of point-of-care (POC) methods and the measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP) as a diagnostic marker have both increased over the past years. This has led to an increase in POC-methods analysing CRP. High CRP levels are often seen as an indication for the subscription of antibiotics. The quality of POC-systems compared to routine diagnostic measurements for the analysis of CRP is thereby of main importance, since many small practises will use POC-methods. This study compared high-level CRP concentrations (above 100 mg/L) using an i-CHROMA

designand Methods: A total of 199 patient samples with a CRP concentration above 100 mg/L were analysed with the i-CHROMA

resultsThe results of the i-CHROMA

conclusionsThis analysis showed the limitations of the i-CHROMA
