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

This study aimed to compare the performance of the BD FACSPresto system with the conventional standard-of-care technologies for the measurement of absolute CD4 count (AbsCD4), CD4 percentage (CD4%) and total hemoglobin concentration (Hb) in capillary and venous blood samples of HIV-negative and HIV-positive subjects. A total of 1304 participants were included in this prospective cohort study. Both venous and capillary blood samples were analyzed using the BD FACSPresto system and the results were compared against the BD FACSCalibur for enumerating AbsCD4 and CD4% and Sysmex XT-4000i hematology analyzer for determining Hb levels. Method comparison studies were performed using Deming regression and Bland-Altman plots. The Deming regression analyses comparing the accuracy of the BD FACSPresto system with the reference standard technologies demonstrated a significant linear correlation between the AbsCD4, CD4%, and Hb values generated by the two platforms. The 95% CI of the slopes for AbsCD4, CD4%, and Hb levels were 0.94-0.99, 0.99-1.01 and 0.86-0.93, respectively (P < 0.001). Bland-Altman plots for AbsCD4, CD4%, and Hb levels demonstrated close agreement between the BD FACSPresto system and the reference standards for all study participants. The performance and accuracy of BD FACSPresto system was comparable to the reference standard technologies. The BD FACSPresto system can be used interchangeably with BD FACSCalibur platform for CD4 and Sysmex XT-4000i hematology analyzer for Hb concentrations in resource-limited settings thus, improving accessibility to point-of-care testing services.
