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 summary: A 4-year-old female neutered Scottish Fold shorthair cat was presented for further investigation of circling towards the right. MRI of the brain revealed an extensive, right-sided temporal muscle lesion with associated frontotemporal bone osteolysis, intracranial, extra-axial extension along the calvarial convexity with severe pachy- and leptomeningeal thickening and contrast enhancement, and an intra-axial space-occupying lesion in the right piriform lobe. The regional lymph nodes were moderately enlarged. Cytology of the right parotid lymph node and the temporal muscle was performed and histiocytic sarcoma (HS) was diagnosed. The owners elected euthanasia. Relevance and novel information: HS of the central nervous system (CNS) is a very rare neoplastic condition in cats. Although a few case reports mention MRI, to our knowledge, the characterisation of MRI features of feline CNS HS have not been investigated in detail. Therefore, the aim of this case report was to describe the MRI characteristics in a feline HS involving not only the CNS, but also the fronto-temporal bone, temporal muscle and the regional lymph nodes. In particular, aggressive neoplastic bone invasion was a novel finding.
