Case report: Surgical treatment of pyloric obstruction with intramural gastric abscess induced by fragmented crystalline foreign materials in a dog.

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.
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-year-old neutered male Maltese presented with a 2-day history of persistent vomiting and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic marginal mass with gastric wall thickening in the pyloric region of the stomach. Computed tomography revealed a non-contrast-enhanced mass in the pyloric antrum causing pyloric outflow obstruction. Imaging studies suggested a tumor and surgical treatment was performed due to the deterioration of the patient's condition. The pyloric mass was excised, and the stomach and duodenum were anastomosed via pylorectomy and gastroduodenostomy (Billroth I procedure). Postoperatively, the pyloric outflow obstruction resolved, clinical symptoms improved, and no significant complications were observed. Histopathological examination revealed a gastric abscess characterized by a mass-like area with abundant necrosis. Angular fragmented crystalline foreign materials were observed within the lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an intramural gastric abscess caused by fragmented crystalline foreign materials in a dog. Although rare, this case highlights the importance of considering gastric abscesses in the differential diagnoses of gastric masses. If the cause of the gastric abscess is an invisible foreign material, postoperative follow-up should be considered to monitor for potential recurrence.
