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 seven-year-old female spayed Australian Shepherd was presented for a 3-day history of left eye ventromedial strabismus, episcleral injection, protrusion of the third eyelid, miosis, and enophthalmia. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) identified lesions in the left medial pterygoid muscle and left tongue base. Cytology and histopathology revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation with rod-shaped bacteria and pyogranulomatous myositis, respectively. One month of oral antibiotics resolved both lesions. Repeat MRI showed a mild decrease in size of the left medial pterygoid muscle consistent with fibrosis. Clinically, residual, positional ventral strabismus remained upon dorsal neck extension, but all other ophthalmic abnormalities resolved. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of pyogranulomatous myositis causing this constellation of clinical signs and of repeat imaging depicting resolution of these lesions with therapy.
