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

Reticulocyte count is a basic test in hematology. This study was done to compare manual and automated methods and to study the effect of sample storage on reticulocyte count. Analyses of samples (n = 86) were done at 2, 6, 24 and 48 h after blood collection. Manual counting was done from both freshly prepared slide and stored slide by microscopy on new methylene blue stained smears. Automated enumeration was on Sysmex XT-2000i analyser (Ret search II). The values of immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) and low fluorescence reticulocytes (LFR) were also recorded. Comparison between two methods was done by Spearman's correlation and Mann-Whitney test. Effect of storage was analysed by repeated measures ANOVA. There was strong positive correlation between both manual and automated methods at 2, 6, 24 and 48 h. The differences between the manual and automated methods were not significant at 2, 6 and 24 h (
