1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The International System (TIS) for reporting serous fluid cytopathology was published in December 2020 as a joint project by the International Academy of Cytology and the American Society of Cytopathology. The purpose was to standardize the diagnostic criteria and nomenclature used in reporting serous fluid samples, thereby improving the reproducibility of reports and improving communication between pathologists and clinicians. TIS defines a five-tier system consisting of nondiagnostic, negative for malignancy, atypia of uncertain significance, suspicious for malignancy and malignant categories. This review provides an updated summary of the reporting system, risk of malignancy, potential diagnostic pitfalls, and a practical diagnostic approach to serous fluid specimens.
