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

Background: The UF-1500 is the new fully automated urine particle analyser by Sysmex specifically tailored for small and medium laboratories. This study aim to validate its analytical and diagnostic performance. Methods: 754 first morning mid-stream urines were analysed on UF-1500; 550 samples were used for the UF-5000 comparison and 204 were used for the correlation with manual count on Fuchs-Rosenthal chamber. Carry-over, linearity and imprecision of the UF-1500 were also assessed. Results: Correlation with the UF-5000 was excellent, with Conclusion: The analytical and diagnostic performance is satisfactory for almost all the parameters, when compared with the UF-5000; the correlation with the reference method is equally good.
