Mesenteric lymphatic malformation with chylothorax in a cat.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case summary: An 8-year-old female spayed Russian Blue cat presented for acute progressive dyspnoea. The patient had pleural effusion and was diagnosed with chylothorax. A multiphase contrast-enhanced CT scan of thoracic and abdominal cavities was performed to facilitate diagnosis and surgical planning. Incidentally, a large lobulated, elongated, cystic and encapsulated peritoneal mass was found. Contrast pooled within the peritoneal mass during lymphography, suggesting lymphatic origin. The patient was eventually euthanased as a result of recurrence of chylothorax. Necropsy revealed multiple irregular, thin-walled pockets of chylous fluid pooling within the mesentery. Histopathology of the affected mesentery was compatible with a diagnosis of lymphatic malformation. Relevance and novel information: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case describing a feline presentation of mesenteric lymphatic malformation. This is also the first case reporting the presentation of chylothorax for a veterinary patient with mesenteric lymphatic malformation.
