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

Background and aims: GEM Premier ChemSTAT is a new point-of-care system providing rapid creatinine, BUN and tCO Materials and methods: Heparinized whole blood samples from different clinical locations were evaluated on the GEM Premier ChemSTAT and results compared to plasma from the same samples on the Beckman AU5800 or whole blood on the GEM Premier 4000. Precision studies were conducted with whole blood and quality control material. Results: ChemSTAT correlated well with plasma samples on the AU5800 (regression slopes (S): 0.957-1.159, correlation coefficients (r)≥0.952) and with whole blood specimens on the GEM Premier 4000 (S: 0.9646-1.124, r ≥ 0.974). The repeatability was 0.1%-3.1% and QC precision were within lab and manufacturers' specifications. Conclusion: ChemSTAT demonstrated strong correlation to the comparative methods and excellent precision. Combining with its continuous quality management, ChemSTAT is suitable for acute care settings to provide rapid, reliable results, which could minimize time-to-treatment and improve patient outcome.
