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

A cylindroma is a relatively rare tumor classified as a benign tumor with apocrine and eccrine differentiation, mainly occurring on the scalp. While there are some reports on the cytological findings of cylindromas, there are no reports concerning stamp preparation. Here, we report a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with a tumor on the right scalp. We obtained cytological specimens from non-fixed surgical samples using stamp, aspiration, and liquid-based cytology. Based on the histological findings, we compared the similarities and differences between stamp and aspiration preparations of a typical cylindroma. Findings of basement membrane-like materials and the degree of nuclear atypia aided cytological diagnosis. As distinguishing cylindromas from other tumors through cytology alone is clinically challenging, careful diagnosis using histopathology and cytology is recommended.
