Diagnostic Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in a Case of Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Masquerading as Tuberculosis.
Article in Journal of cytology. 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
Hydatid cyst may mimic other diseases including carcinoma and tuberculosis which may raise diagnostic dilemma that may be more enhanced in areas where tuberculosis is endemic. This may result in delayed diagnosis of hydatid cyst leading to its complications. The present case is therefore being reported as it was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as tuberculosis but on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) turned out to be a case of hydatid cyst. In addition, vigilant cytological examination revealed only protoscolices and hooklets instead of laminated cyst membrane which is more commonly and easily observed. FNAC serves as a valuable adjunctive tool in the diagnosis of hydatid cysts providing rapid and accurate diagnosis that can guide clinical management and improve patient outcome.
