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

Meningeal oligodendrogliomatosis is a relatively rare neoplasm in dogs. Ante-mortem diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific neurologic signs overlapping other conditions. The only reported consistent feature is a high level of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. Veterinary literature offers only 1 case report with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of canine spinal meningeal oligodendrogliomatosis in a single dog. In contrast to the predominant diffuse meningeal enhancement shown in that report, we present the case of a young female cane corso dog with marked nodular invasion of the spinal cord on MRI, confirmed by histopathology to be consistent with diffuse meningeal oligodendrogliomatosis. Key clinical message: Meningeal oligodendrogliomatosis should be a differential diagnosis when marked nodular invasion of the spinal cord is seen on MRI, both with and without meningeal enhancement.
