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

An 8-month-old domestic short-haired female cat presented with acute tachypnea, poor growth, hypothermia, and lethargy. Thoracic radiography showed cardiomegaly with mild pleural effusion, and transthoracic echocardiography identified dilatation of both atria and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Although clinical signs improved temporarily with treatment, the cat died of pulmonary edema 135 days after the first visit. At necropsy, the heart was grossly enlarged. Microscopic examination of the heart identified severe vacuolization of cardiac muscle cells in histologic sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Examination of periodic acid-Schiff stained preparations of formalin-fixed heart tissue disclosed coarse granules within vacuoles that disappeared on predigestion with diastase, indicating that they were glycogen. On the basis of these findings, a necropsy diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease) was made. This report is the first case of a young cat with clinical signs closely resembling infantile Pompe disease of humans.
