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

A control group is defined as a group of people used for comparison. Depending on the type of study, it can be a group of healthy people or a group not exposed to risk factors. It is important to allow researchers to select the appropriate control participants. The Korea Biobank Project-sponsored biobanks are affiliated with the Korea Biobank Network (KBN), for which the National Biobank of Korea plays a central coordinating role among KBN biobanks. KBN organized several working groups to address new challenges and needs in biobanking. The "Normal Healthy Control Working Group" developed standardized criteria for three defined control groups, namely, normal, normal-plus, and disease-specific controls. Based on the consensus on the definition of a normal control, we applied the criteria for normal control participants to retrospective data. The main reason for exclusion from the "Normal-plus" group was blood test results beyond 5% of the reference range, including hypercholesterolemia. Subclassification of samples of normal controls by detailed criteria will help researchers select optimal normal controls for their studies.
