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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of cell blocks obtained by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in diagnosing parotid gland masses.

methodsCell blocks were made in 285 parotid gland masses by ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration. Diagnosis was conducted using the cell blocks. Non-tumor masses were subjected to conservative treatment, and cysts and tumors were treated with surgery. The cell block sections from masses with the diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and pleomorphic adenoma (PA) were applied to the detection of immunocytochemical staining for the stem cell factor receptor CD117.

resultsThe satisfaction rate of the specimen was 95.1% (271/285). The accuracy rate of the diagnosis was 94.5% (256/271), the sensitivity was 87.0% (67/77), and the specificity was 98.1% (157/160). The positive rate of CD117 in ACC was 95.2% (20/21), whereas that in PA was 20.3% (25/123). The positive rate of CD117 in ACC was higher than that in PA (P<0.01).

conclusionsThe use of cell blocks obtained from ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, together with molecular marker detection, has great significance in diagnosing parotid gland masses.
