Processing Validation Metrics of Syva Enzyme-Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT) Methotrexate Assay for Beckman Coulter System.

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
backgroundHigh-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), defined as a dose greater than 500 mg/m METHODOLOGY: A total of 25 replicates (five replicates per run, for five runs) were analyzed for profiling. Precision, accuracy, linearity, limit of blank, limit of detection, and limit of quantification were determined using existing guidelines. Imprecision profile and limit of quantitation (LoQ) at 10% were determined by fitting data with hyperbolic regression.
resultsThe coefficient of variation percentage (CV%) for low, mid, and high-level internal quality control (IQC) was 1.25%, 3.45%, and 1.55%, respectively. Similarly, estimated bias was -4.58%, -3.54%, -7.21% for each level. The assay linearity was maintained from a range of 0.041-1.993 mmol/L with an R
conclusionSyva EMIT MTX assay can be precisely and accurately used to measure low levels of serum methotrexate at levels lower than claimed by the manufacturer, aiding in the monitoring of toxicity in patients.
