Rapid On-site Evaluation (ROSE) Cytology of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma and its Diagnostic Pitfalls: a Case Report.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a basic tool used for the preoperative diagnosis of superficial parotid swellings. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma accounts for approx. 5-10% of all salivary gland tumors. However, due to its morphologic heterogenicity, this tumor poses diagnostic difficulties in its interpretation. This is a case of a 45-year-old male with a history of recurrent swelling in the left infra-auricular region. Cytology with rapid on-site evaluation revealed a triphasic population of basaloid cells, squamoid cells, and intermediate cells on a mucoid background and reported as low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in recurrence. The presence of a triphasic cellular component (mucous, intermediate, and squamoid cells) may not be seen in all cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) for definitive diagnosis. Clinico-radiological correlation, rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), and high index of suspicion related to cystic lesions are important for early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
