The study of endocrine tumors by flow and image cytometry.
Review in Endocrine pathology, 1992. 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
Both DNA flow and image cytometry are methods that can be used for the quantitative determination of cellular DNA content. Objective, quantitative analysis of cellular morphology can also be obtained using image cytometry. Data thus generated have been shown to be of diagnostic and prognostic use in the study of many solid tumors and would be of particular value in the evaluation of endocrine tumors that show a poor correlation between their histology and biological behavior. The main application of these techniques to endocrine tumors has been in the analysis of thyroid nodules, although a limited number of studies of parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and tumors of the dispersed neuroendocrine system have been reported. Review of these studies shows that in the endocrine organs DNA and morphometric measurements have a very limited role in the diagnosis of individual cases, but are important as prognostic variables. The high incidence of abnormal DNA content in histologically benign lesions of the endocrine glands has important biological implications. Further investigation of this phenomenon may help to elucidate the process of endocrine tumorigenesis.
