Molecular testing of cytology specimens: overview of assay selection with focus on lung, salivary gland, and thyroid testing.
Review in Journal of the American Society of Cytopathology. 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
Ancillary and molecular testing of cytopathology specimens has emerged as a reliable and useful tool to provide diagnostic information and treatment-related biomarker status for the management of cancer patients. The cytology specimens obtained through minimally invasive means have proven suitable testing substrates for a variety of ancillary tests, including immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, as well as polymerase chain reaction and next generation sequencing molecular techniques. By focusing specifically on the cytology specimen, this review provides an overview of basic testing considerations and assay selection in addition to updates on the ancillary testing of cytologic tumor specimens from the lung, salivary gland, and thyroid.
