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

The sphincter of Oddi (SO) is located within the wall of the duodenum as the terminal part of the common bile duct. Six cats are reported with obstructive processes within their SO. Three of them may have had some form of sphincter dysfunction associated with the pre-existing complex known as 'inflammatory bowel disease' (IBD), two may have had the equivalent of the infant human condition known as 'bile plug syndrome' and the sixth had sphincter dysfunction associated with a tumour at the confluence of the common and right hepatic duct. In all six cases, the sphincter obstructions were surgically managed. The outcomes for 4/6 were favourable but 1/6 was euthanased intraoperatively, and 1/6 had a metastatic neoplasia and was euthanased 2 months postoperatively.
