Influence of Season, Storage Temperature and Time of Sample Collection in Pancreatitis-Associated Protein-Based Algorithms for Newborn Screening for Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in International journal of neonatal screening, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) based on pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP) has been performed for several years. While some influencing factors are known, there is currently a lack of information on the influence of seasonal temperature on PAP determination or on the course of PAP blood concentration in infants during the first year of life. Using data from two PAP studies at the Heidelberg NBS centre and storage experiments, we compared PAP determinations in summer and winter and determined the direct influence of temperature. In addition, PAP concentrations measured in CF-NBS, between days 21-35 and 36-365, were compared. Over a 7-year period, we found no significant differences between PAP concentrations determined in summer or winter. We also found no differences in PAP determination after 8 days of storage at 4 °C, room temperature or 37 °C. When stored for up to 3 months, PAP samples remained stable at 4 °C, but not at room temperature (
