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

Key Clinical Message: Gliosarcoma, a rare cerebral neoplasm, has not been linked to hippocampal changes in cats. We report a case of complex partial seizures with orofacial involvement, revealing gliosarcoma concurrent with bilateral hippocampal sclerosis. Abstract: A 16-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat presented with acute inappetence, ataxia, disorientation, and vacant staring. Brain MRI revealed an ill-defined, round, intra-axial mass in the right piriform lobe, showing hyperintensity on T2W, T2-FLAIR, and T2*W, and hypointensity on T1W images. The lesion exhibited mass effect and contrast enhancement in its center. Bilateral hyperintensity on T2-FLAIR images and contrast enhancement were observed in the hippocampus. Brain histologic and immunohistochemical analysis revealed cerebral gliosarcoma with concurrent hippocampal sclerosis. Feline LGI1-antibody testing on the serum and/or CSF was not performed due to insufficient biomaterial. Although retrospective testing on brain tissue was considered, it ultimately proved unfeasible, preventing us from ruling out antibody-associated limbic encephalitis. In conclusion, cerebral gliosarcoma should be included in feline intracranial tumor differentials, warranting brain MRI and feline LGI1-antibody testing in cats showing complex partial seizures with orofacial involvement. In our case, the prognosis remained poor due to the presence of a high-grade glioma.
