Small-scale external quality assessment of methylated
Article in Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, 2026. 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
objectivesDNA methylation in short homeobox gene 2 (
methodsA sample panel was prepared containing two
resultsThe sample panel demonstrated sufficient stability and applicability. Results were collected from 21 laboratories in 2023 and 29 laboratories in 2024. Approximately 90.5 % (19/21) and 75.9 % (22/29) laboratories achieved correct results in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Out of the 105 results in 2023 and 145 results in 2024, 1 false negative and 3 false positives were observed in 2023 and 6 false negatives and 12 false positives in 2024.
