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 9-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever dog was diagnosed with a grade 1 chondrosarcoma associated with the right iliopsoas muscle. A computed tomography scan of the patient revealed the mass to begin at the level of L5, continuing to the insertion of the iliopsoas muscle on the femur. Surgery was performed to remove the mass. The femoral nerve was encased within the mass and the nerve was transected and removed, along with the iliopsoas muscle, with minimal intraoperative complications. With regular physiotherapy, the patient was able to independently walk, run, and jump, with mild functional lameness after 6 months.
