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

backgroundSemiquantitative dipstick tests are utilized for albuminuria screening.

methodsIn a prospective cross-sectional survey, we analyzed the diagnostic test validity of the semiquantitative colorimetric indicator-dye-based Combur9-Test

resultsIn 970 subjects, albuminuria (≥30 mg/g) was detected in 12.7% (95% CI 85.6-96.3%) with the ACR. Sensitivity was 82.9% (95% CI 75.1-89.1%) and 91.9% (95% CI 88.7-96.9%) and specificity 71.5% (95% CI 68.4-74.6%) and 17.5% (95% CI 15.0-20.2%) for the Combur9-Test

conclusionCompared to the Combur9-Test
