Newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: Utility of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry as a secondary test.

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
In Japan, newborn screening (NBS) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) began in 1989. NBS is useful for early diagnosis and preventing gender misidentification, however, it has a higher false positive rate for CAH compared to other diseases detected by neonatal screening. Recently, it has become clear that using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for second-tier testing reduces false positive rates and repeat blood sampling. LC-MS/MS commonly measures cortisol (F), androstenedione (A4), 11-deoxycortsiol (11DOF), 21-deoxycortisol (21DOF), and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) levels. The ratios for (21DOF+17OHP)/F and (17OHP+A4)/F have been used to establish cut-off values for the second-tier test. In Japan, the recall rate is reduced using the 11DOF/17OHP ratio as well as the ratios for (21DOF+17OHP)/F and (17OHP+A4)/F for the second-tier test. Currently, second-tier testing using LC-MS/MS for CAH neonatal screening is unfeasible in all regions of Japan due to equipment costs, however, it will hopefully be available nationwide in the future.
