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 11-y-old hembra alpaca was admitted because of cerebellar and vestibular signs, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia; without clinical improvement following empirical therapy, the patient was euthanized. On autopsy, a neoplasm was found incorporating the right vestibulocochlear nerve at the level of the acoustic meatus. Histologically, the mass was composed of a multiphasic primitive cell population associated with a dense fibrous stroma and enveloping a remnant ganglion and nerve bundles. Patterns included dense ribbons and cords of embryonal neuroepithelial cells admixed with loosely defined interlacing spindle cells. The embryonal cells had angular cell profiles with variable amounts of lightly basophilic cytoplasm, ovoid-to-irregular nuclei, and an open chromatin pattern with a typically inapparent nucleolus. Necrosis was not evident, and there was 1 mitotic figure per 2.37 mm
