Reference Intervals for Venous Blood Gas in Healthy Adults: A One-Year Prospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Venous blood gas (VBG) investigation is a widespread option for arterial blood gas analysis because it is easier to draw and has a lower risk of complications during phlebotomy. This study aimed to establish reference intervals for the accurate analysis of VBG results as there is a lack of published data. Method Dr. Ziauddin Hospital hosted the study, which involved 182 healthy adults (96 female participants) between the ages of 20 and 76 years. They comprised 118 medical students (aged 20-32 years) and 64 volunteers (aged 20-76 years), the latter of whom were enrolled following the fulfillment of a health questionnaire. To avoid coagulation, a pre-heparinized syringe was used to draw venous blood from the dorsal or cubital vein (peripheral). The samples were sent directly to the laboratory, where the EasyBloodGasTM analyzer (Medica Corporation, Bedford, MA, USA) completed the analysis of the blood samples in 30 min. Results pH, pO2 (partial pressure of oxygen), pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide), bicarbonate, and electrolytes i.e. sodium (Na
