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 13-year-old spayed female Labrador retriever cross dog was referred to the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Tufts University for evaluation of a metastatic carcinoma discovered at the site of a previous tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). The dog was previously evaluated at the primary care veterinarian for a complaint of lameness, and radiographs of the previous TPLO site revealed bony lysis associated with the TPLO plate. Surgical exploration of the site by the primary veterinarian provided evidence of osteolysis. The lytic area of the proximal tibia was biopsied, and a metastatic carcinoma was confirmed. The patient was referred for further evaluation. Following consultation and examination, a full body computed tomography (CT) scan was performed to determine the source of the carcinoma. A well-defined soft tissue attenuating mass effacing the right thyroid gland was located, along with 3, well-defined soft tissue attenuating nodules within the pulmonary parenchyma, consistent with metastatic disease. The previously diagnosed osteolytic, aggressive bone lesion of the proximal left tibia was visualized. Following the CT scan, palliative left hind-limb amputation
