Utility of Cytopathology in Diagnosing a Plethora of Fungal Infections.
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
Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple and reliable technique for diagnosing various inflammatory lesions. Some of these lesions are caused by fungal organisms, which are often missed clinically and thus remain untreated. Most of these infections require prompt diagnosis as they respond to early treatment, and delayed diagnosis may lead to unnecessary complications. Aim: To study the clinico-cytomorphological spectrum of fungal infections in a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study and includes a total of 25 cases of various fungal infections diagnosed on FNAC over 5 years. Clinical details of these cases were retrieved from cytopathology records, and cytomorphological features were studied in detail. Results: All 25 cases were analyzed and included rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis (15), histoplasmosis (1), cryptococcosis (1), phaeohyphomycosis (1), and aspergillosis (1), along with six cases broadly classified as fungal abscesses. Conclusion: FNAC is an efficient and unswerving tool, helpful in diagnosing a plethora of fungal infections, especially in clinically unsuspected cases, and thereby facilitates early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
