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

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of leukocyte cell population data (CPD) assessed on Sysmex XN-3000 hematological analyzer in samples stored for up to 24 h at different temperatures. Materials and methods: Whole-blood samples from 25 donors were analyzed for 18 CPD parameters at baseline and after storage at room temperature (RT), 4 °C, or 37 °C for 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Stability was assessed using three complementary approaches: paired Wilcoxon tests with Bonferroni correction, percent difference between medians > 10%, and Results: According to predefined stability criteria, several CPD parameters exceeded stability limits within 24 h, particularly under storage at 37 °C. Parameters related to neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte complexity and size ( Conclusions: Leukocyte CPD stability is strongly temperature- and parameter-dependent. Exposure to elevated temperature (37 °C) leads to early exceedance of predefined stability limits for several CPD parameters, whereas storage at RT preserves stability for longer time intervals. Avoiding prolonged exposure to high temperatures is therefore essential for reliable CPD assessment in routine laboratory practice.
