Evaluation of WASPLab Software To Automatically Read chromID CPS Elite Agar for Reporting of Urine Cultures.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Urine cultures are among the most common specimens received by clinical laboratories and generate a major share of the laboratory workload. Chromogenic agar can expedite culture results, but technologist review is still needed. In this study, we evaluated the ability of the WASPLab software to interpret urine specimens plated onto chromID CPS Elite (CPSE) agar. Urine specimens submitted for bacterial culture were plated onto CPSE agar with a 1-μl loop using the WASP. Each plate was imaged after 0 and 18 h of incubation, and colonies were enumerated by color using the WASPLab software and a technologist's reading from a high-definition (HD) monitor. The results were reported as negative if <10 colonies/plate were detected. Laboratory information system (LIS) time stamps were used to measure the time to result. A total of 1,581 urine cultures were tested. The sensitivity and specificity of the software were 99.8% and 68.5%, respectively, which included 2 manual-positive/automation-negative (MP/AN) results and 170 manual-negative/automation-positive (MN/AP) results. Of the 170 MN/AP specimens, 116 were caused by microcolonies missed by the technologist. The remaining MN/AP results were caused by either count differences near the 10-colony threshold (
