Cell population data in identifying active tuberculosis and community-acquired pneumonia.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveLeukocyte morphological parameters known as CPD (cell population data) is detected by hematology analyzer UniCel DxH800 with VCS technology. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of morphological changes in CPD parameters in distinguishing active tuberculosis from community-acquired pneumonia.
methodsFrom October 2018 to February 2019, 88 patients with active tuberculosis, 78 patients with community-acquired pneumonia, and 89 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. CPD was obtained using Unicel DxH800 analyzer for all whole blood samples, one-way ANOVA (non-parametric) and area analysis under ROC curve were performed.
resultsThe neutrophil mean conductivity (NMC), monocyte mean volume (MMV), monocyte mean conductivity (MMC), lymphocyte percentage (LY%), and monocyte percentage (MO%) were significantly higher in the active tuberculosis group than in the community-acquired pneumonia group. The white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil percentage (NE%) were significantly lower in the active tuberculosis group than in the community-acquired pneumonia group. The analysis of the area under the ROC curve proved that WBC count, neutrophil percentage (NE%), lymphocyte percentage (LY%), and monocyte percentage (MO%) did not achieve a higher area under the curve (AUC: 0.63, 0.71, 0.62, and 0.7, respectively). However, the AUC of NMC, MMV, and MMC in the CPD parameters was 0.951, 0.877, 0.98, respectively, and the simultaneous measurement of the three parameters was 0.99. The sensitivity and specificity were 98.5% and 91.1%, respectively.
conclusionThe combined diagnosis of NMC, MMV, and MMC could assist the clinical diagnosis of active tuberculosis and community-acquired pneumonia.
