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 28-day-old Holstein calf with astasia (i.e., right hind limb flaccid paralysis) was referred to Large Animal Veterinary Educational Center. Thoracic radiographs showed an alveolar pattern and air bronchograms indicating pneumonia, whereas skeletal radiography showed muscle atrophy of the right hind limb but no abnormalities in the coxofemoral and stifle joints. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the pulmonary abscess in the right cranial pulmonary lobe and a thrombus (5 × 5 × 20 mm) in the right external iliac artery distal to the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta. These findings were confirmed via pathological examination. Streptococcus bovis/equinus complex colonies were isolated from the thrombus and pulmonary abscess. Thus, the pulmonary abscess was considered the infectious source of the thromboembolism in the right external iliac artery. Arterial thromboembolism should be included in the differential diagnoses in calves with astasia but without radiographic skeletal abnormalities.
