Cytological Diagnosis by Fine-Needle Aspiration or Core Biopsy with Touch Preparation for Renal Cystic or Solid Lesions: A Single-Center Clinicopathological Analysis.

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
introductionA retrospective study analyzed real-life data from a single-center cohort of renal fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core biopsy (CB) with touch preparation (TP) procedures over an 18-year period and aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the evaluation of cytological diagnostic performance, challenges, and accuracy concerning renal cystic, solid, and mixed cystic-solid lesions.
methodsAll percutaneous ultrasound-guided FNA and CT-guided CB with TP performed at our institution from 2006 to 2024 were identified.
resultsA total of 89 renal cytology procedures were performed during the study period. Sixty-two (69.7%) lesions displayed cystic radiological features, 20 (22.5%) lesions presented solid mass, and only 7 (7.8%) lesions exhibited mixed cystic-solid radiological features. Of the procedures performed, seventy-five (84.3%) were ultrasound-guided FNA biopsies, while 14 (15.7%) were CT-guided CB with TP. Of the 62 renal cystic lesions, 54 (87.1%) were simple renal cysts. Twelve (60%) in 20 solid lesions were malignant, mainly involving clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), urothelial carcinoma, and collecting duct carcinoma. Cytological diagnoses of renal mixed cystic-solid lesions mainly involved tuberculosis and clear cell RCC. However, only 22 cases had corresponding histopathological specimens available for comparison. The concordance rate between cytological diagnoses and surgical pathology specimens for cystic, solid, and mixed cystic-solid renal lesions was 100%, 92.3%, and 80%, respectively.
conclusionIn our series, FNA or CB with TP demonstrates significant diagnostic utility in the evaluation of renal lesions. The diagnostic accuracy of FNA cytology for renal lesions has been enhanced through the application of immunocytochemical staining on cell blocks.
