Comparison of Electrolytes and Hemoglobin Testing Between a Blood Gas Analyzer and Core Lab Analyzers.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 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
backgroundBlood gas analyzers (BGAs) are critical point-of-care testing tools in emergency departments (EDs), but their agreement with core lab analyzers for electrolytes and hemoglobin (Hb) remains uncertain. This study compared BGA and core lab results to evaluate the interchangeability of Hb/electrolytes and assess BGA turnaround time (TAT) for ED time-sensitive care.
methodsOur retrospective analysis included 139 ED patients. We compared potassium (K

conclusionGEM4000 enhances ED care timeliness but has variable interchangeability with core labs. Caution is needed for Na
