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

A Golden Retriever cross was presented with a four week history of violent sneezing and licking at the nasal planum. Nasal mycosis was diagnosed and Aspergillus sp. presumed the causative agent, until culture, PCR and DNA sequencing showed that Scedosporium apiospermum, an uncommonly diagnosed, yet emerging, fungal pathogen, was the agent responsible. Debridement of the fungal plaques and systemic itraconazole therapy resulted in complete resolution of clinical disease. We discuss the current literature on S. apiospermum, review its clinical significance and question the validity of its 'complex' taxonomy.
