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 summaryAn 11-year-old neutered male Maine Coon cat was presented for investigation of anisocoria and depression. Neurological examination was consistent with a lesion at the level of the middle cranial fossa, and biochemistry was indicative of moderate renal functional impairment. MRI of the brain identified an extra-axial mass lesion at the level of the middle cranial fossa, T2-weighted hyperintense and strongly homogeneously contrast enhancing with dural tail. The cat was euthanased after 6 weeks of palliative treatment with corticosteroids. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the brain, the intra-cranial mass and the renal masses found on necropsy were consistent with histiocytic sarcoma. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: Central nervous system histiocytic sarcoma is a rare finding in cats. This original case report describes the neurological presentation, novel MRI characteristics and pathological findings of suspected primary histiocytic sarcoma affecting the brain with renal metastasis in a cat.
