"Classical cytogenetics" is not equal to "banding cytogenetics".
Article in Molecular cytogenetics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundHuman cytogenetics is a field suffering from the argumentation that it 'is nowadays really outdated and to be replaced by molecular high throughput approaches'. Thus, it is to be expected that non-cytogeneticists do mistakes in nomenclature of cytogenetics, which is exposed to repeated reforms, like e.g. recently the now hardly manageable and readable nomenclature for array-comparative genomic hybridization.
resultsAn unexpected nomenclature problem becomes more and more obvious in human cytogenetics - it seems to become difficult to understand how and when to use the designations "classical cytogenetics" or "banding cytogenetics". Here it is highlighted that "classical cytogenetics" stands for studies undertaken by Orcein or Giemsa staining without (!) previous trypsin-treatment. However, in human (diagnostic) cytogenetics almost exclusively "banding cytogenetics" is applied.
conclusionThe terms "classical cytogenetics" and "banding cytogenetics" have to be clearly distinguished and correctly applied.
