Fine needle aspiration diagnosis of Kikuchi's lymphadenitis in axillary lymphadenopathy: A rare condition with an unusual presentation site.
Article in CytoJournal, 2025. 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
Kikuchi's lymphadenitis (KL) is a benign, self-limited, reactive condition with unknown etiology, usually seen in young women of Asian descent. It is most commonly seen in the cervical lymph nodes; however, in rare cases, axillary lymph nodes are involved. Cytological diagnosis is possible with adequate lymph node sampling by fine needle aspiration in the proper clinical setting. Pathologists face some difficulties in making the diagnosis of KL due to overlapping findings among other conditions, such as tuberculosis, lupus lymphadenitis, non-specific reactive conditions, and even malignant lymphoma. Diagnosis by cytopathology has the advantage of using minimally invasive interventions, which avoid the unnecessary excision of the lymph node for this benign condition. Herein, we report a case of KL in a patient who presented with right axillary lymphadenopathy.
