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 case of polyparasitism in an 8-year-old female cat from Southern Brazil is reported. Among the described clinical signs, both gurltiosis and lagochilascariasis are of rare occurrence, being categorized as neglected diseases. The diagnosis of feline crural parasitic paraplegia was established through clinical signs, necropsy lesion observations, and the presence of Gurltia paralysans in histological sections of the spinal cord. Lagochilascaris minor was diagnosed with an ulcerated wound in the cervical region and further confirmed by coprology. In addition, other gastrointestinal parasites (i.e., Trichuris spp., Diphyllobothriidae, Toxocara cati, Ancylostoma spp., Cystoisospora spp., and Entamoeba spp.) were diagnosed through fecal examination and Sarcocystis felis by molecular analysis of muscle cysts. Aelurostrongylus abstrusus was detected in histological sections of lung parenchyma and confirmed by molecular analyses. The multiple parasitism detected in this case represents a unique report in terms of the number of parasites in the same individual, indicating the risk represented by stray cats as spreaders of zoonotic agents.
