Epidural Inflammatory Pseudotumor in the Cervical Spine: A Case Report of a Bernese Mountain 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
A 3-year, 9-month-old Bernese Mountain dog presented with a 10-day history of acute right hemiparesis. Neurological examination indicated abnormalities in the C1-C5 spinal segments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an epidural mass at C3-C4, which was surgically removed after dorsal laminectomy. The neurological signs were completely resolved by the 12th postoperative day. The lesion was diagnosed as an inflammatory pseudotumor on histopathological examination. Another MRI performed 63 days after surgery showed no lesion regrowth, and there has been no recurrence for approximately 6 years. Reports of inflammatory pseudotumors are rare, and their treatment remains unclear. Previous reports and the course of this case suggest that a good prognosis may be achieved if complete surgical resection of an inflammatory pseudotumor arising in the epidural region can be accomplished.
