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

objectivesPrimary nasal tumours in cats are rare, with lymphoma being the most common feline nasal tumour, followed by adenocarcinoma. Although CT can reliably detect feline nasal tumours, there are no specific CT features that identify each tumour type. To our knowledge, there have been no reports describing MRI findings, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), for nasal lymphomas and adenocarcinomas in cats. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to evaluate the MRI findings of nasal lymphoma and adenocarcinoma, including qualitative and quantitative analysis of DWI.

methodsMRI examination was performed on seven cats with histologically confirmed lymphoma and on two with adenocarcinoma. The MRI protocol included T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and DWI. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured using DWI. Contrast agent was not used in one cat with lymphoma.

resultsOf the cats with lymphoma, three (43%) were iso- and hyperintense on T2WI, seven (100%) were isointense on T1WI, five (83%) exhibited mild heterogeneous enhancement, including a prominent region of non-enhancement on post-contrast T1WI, and seven (100%) cats exhibited hyperintensity on DWI. The median ADC values were 0.45 × 10 CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Determining ADC value and tumours with a large area of non-enhancement may be helpful in differentiating nasal lymphoma from nasal adenocarcinoma.
