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

Case series summary: Malignant basal cell tumours may be seen on or near the nasal planum in cats, and include basal cell carcinomas, which are common, and basosquamous carcinomas, which are rare. Reported treatments for these tumours include surgical excision, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy and cryosurgery. This report describes the successful management of basal cell tumours with electrochemotherapy (ECT), including calcium electroporation, in three cats. Relevance and novel information: All patients had a complete response lasting at least 9 months to 1 year. The adverse effects of this treatment were minimal and were limited to nasal discharge, sneezing and scabs at the treatment site. ECT and calcium electroporation are a safe, minimally invasive and effective option for the treatment of feline basal cell carcinoma and basosquamous carcinomas.
