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
Background: Due to the high false-positive rate of the high-fluorescence body fluid (HF-BF) cell parameter of the hematology analyzer in BF mode, a novel algorithm based on the Mindray BC-6800 Plus hematology analyzer (BC-6800Plus), with higher diagnostic accuracy compared to that of the traditional HF-BF algorithm, was used to screen for malignant tumor cells in clinical BF samples. In this study, the body fluid mode of BC-6800Plus was applied to investigate the ability of its available parameters and characteristic regional particles in tumor cells screening. Methods: A total of 220 BF samples (including pleural effusion and ascites) were randomly classified into a training cohort (154 samples) and a validation cohort (66 samples), and detected on the BC-6800Plus in BF mode. Based on the scatter plot analysis of the instrument, a novel gating algorithm, malignant cell algorithm-body fluid (MA-BF), was designed to detect the aggregated cells expressing highest fluorescence (FL) signals and side-scatter (SS) signals than other cells. BF collection and analyses were performed in compliance with the CLSI H56-A guideline. tumor cell-positive samples were defined as greater than or equal to confirIIIb (Papanicolaou class system) by the pathological examination. The diagnostic accuracy of HF-BF and MA-BF were determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: When the cutoff values of the absolute count (HF-BF#) and relative count (HF-BF%) were set as 0.022×10 Conclusions: The MA-BF parameters of the novel algorithm output had better diagnostic accuracy for BF tumor cells than the traditional HF-BF parameters.
