Sensitivities of periodic acid-Schiff staining, Grocott's silver staining and calcofluor white staining in the diagnosis of human sporotrichosis.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the sensitivity of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, Grocott's silver staining (GSS) and calcofluor white (CFW) staining in the diagnosis of sporotrichosis.
methodsParaffin embedded tissues (n = 100) which were diagnosed with sporotrichosis by fungal culture were subjected to PAS, GSS, and CFW staining, and the detection rate of sporotrichosis was determined.
resultsThe sensitivity of PAS, GSS, and CFW staining was 31%, 40% and 74%, respectively, in the diagnosis of sporotrichosis.
conclusionCFW staining has a high sensitivity in the diagnosis of sporotrichosis, and sections are easily observed and can be repeatedly stained after CFW staining. For patients suspected to have sporotrichosis, CFW staining may be employed for early diagnosis before a fungal culture.
