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

practical relevanceAny congenital or developmental abnormality of any part of the male or female reproductive tract is a 'disorder of sexual development' (DSD). The tricolored male cat phenotype, cryptorchidism, gonadal hypoplasia and incidental abnormalities such as cystic remnants or embryonic ducts are well-known feline DSDs. CLINICAL CHALLENGES: Full characterization of DSDs requires sex chromosome determination and identification of genes related to development of the gonads, internal tubular genitalia and external genitalia. Fortunately, affected cats are seen sporadically and the clinical effects are usually minimal. CLASSIFICATION: The classification nomenclature has changed. In place of intersex, hermaphrodite, pseudohermaphrodite and sex reversal, the newer standard classification, based on sex chromosomes, designates sex chromosome DSD when there is an abnormality in the sex chromosomes, and XX (female) and XY (male) DSDs where there is not. Identification of the gonadal type (testes, ovaries, ovotestes or gonadal dysgenesis) and documentation of the internal and external genital components completes the classification. EVIDENCE BASE: The original basis of the DSD classification was a consensus reached in humans. It was quickly accepted in veterinary pathology, courtesy of its logic and ease of application, and it has subsequently begun to appear in peer-reviewed papers and clinical reviews. This article reviewing the various disorders in cats is based on application of the classification and draws on the feline peer-reviewed literature encompassing chromosome analysis and definition of reproductive abnormalities, syndromes and diseases.
