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

case summaryA 7-year-old female entire Birman presented with acute-onset haemorrhagic vulvar discharge. Moderate, normocytic, normochromic, non-/pre-regenerative anaemia, along with a moderate mature neutrophilia, were seen on haematology. Saline test for agglutination was positive. No haemotropic mycoplasmas were identified. Serum biochemistry revealed severe hyperbilirubinaemia. Retroviral testing was negative. Serology for toxoplasmosis revealed a titre of 1:512. Abdominal ultrasound identified a large uterus, containing at least three advanced-stage fetuses, two of which failed to exhibit independent motion or cardiac activity. Ovariohysterectomy was performed. Histology demonstrated mild, multifocal suppurative placentitis, with Gram staining revealing no evidence of bacteria. Complete resolution of the anaemia was seen within 1.5 months of ovariohysterectomy. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: Immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) in association with pregnancy has not been previously reported in cats. This case represents a potential novel cause for IMHA in cats, which resolved following ovariohysterectomy.
