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

This report describes an ocular mast cell tumor in a 13-year-old female sport horse. Clinical examination revealed a solitary firm mass located in the ocular mucosa, protruding from behind the left lower eyelid. The lesion was surgically removed and submitted to histopathology. Microscopically, the mass was composed of sheets of well-differentiated neoplastic round cells circumscribed by delicate connective tissue. Positive Giemsa and Toluidine Blue staining confirmed the presence of cytoplasmic granules. Neoplastic cells showed strong membranous and mild diffuse cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for c-KIT and a low KI-67 proliferative index. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of ocular mast cell tumor was made. Six months after surgical removal, no evidence of ocular lesion recurrence was detected.
