[Value of Cell Block in the Diagnosis of Malignant Pleural Effusion].
Review in Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE ) is due tumor which arises from the mesothelium or metastases from tumor origniating other sites. In large, for undiagnosed unilateral pleural effusions, the most frequent and important diagnosis to be established or excluded is malignancy. Cell block is prepared from residual fluid which is centrifuged or is naturally sedimenting to obtain clots at the bottom of the container. The cell block technique is simple, relatively non-invasive, reproducible and has a high yield for malignant plerual effusion. It plays an important role in the diagnosis, guiding the treatment of maligant pleural effusion. Herein, we summarize the technologys which make the cell block, the differential diagnostic value when multiple sections of the cell block are processed for immunhistochemistry, advantages in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion, the clinical value of gene screening in cell block. The aim of this article is to discuss the value of cell block in diagnosis of maligant pleural effusion.
