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

The family of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) includes autoantibodies targeting proteins within the primary granules of neutrophils and lysosomes of monocytes. So far, proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are considered clinically relevant ANCA specificities. National recommendations for the assessment of ANCA are the outcome of the survey done by the Working group (WG) for laboratory diagnostics of autoimmune diseases of the Croatian Society of Medical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CSMBLM), where the diversity in the performance of ANCA testing and reporting among the laboratories in Croatia was observed. This document contains recommendations concerning the indications for ANCA testing, preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical issues, including rational algorithm and quality control assurance. The recommendations are based on the International consensus on ANCA testing and reporting as well as other relevant literature in order to help to harmonize ANCA testing. The aim of these recommendations is to improve and harmonize ANCA testing among laboratories in Croatia.
