Steroid-responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat.

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 1.5-year-old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma, other Gram-positive or -negative bacteria), viral (feline infectious peritonitis), protozoal (toxoplasmosis), or fungal], neoplastic or inflammatory condition. No improvement was observed with short-term antimicrobial therapy with amoxicillin-clavulanate. Treatment with an immunosuppressive dosage of prednisolone resulted in complete resolution of clinical signs. Seven months after prednisolone withdrawal, the cat remained in good general condition. This is the first description of a steroid-responsive necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat, and this entity might be considered in cases with generalised lymphadenopathy and fever.
