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 3-day-old Japanese black calf presented with a swollen and tender umbilical cord and diffusely cloudy and keratoconus eyes. Abdominal ultrasonography confirmed mild enlargement of both umbilical arteries and the urachus with a hyperechoic lumen. Additionally, a hyperechogenic structure suggestive of pus was noted near the abdominal wall. Fluorescein staining revealed corneal epithelial injury, whereas slit lamp examination identified corneal edema, increased corneal thickness, and keratitis with vascularization of the corneal stroma. Based on these findings, diagnoses of omphaloarteritis, omphalourachitis, and bullous keratitis were made. Both umbilical arteries and the urachus were surgically removed; both ocular globes were covered with a third eyelid flap, which was released 30 days postoperatively. On the follow-up, ocular ultrasonography indicated bleeding or fibrin deposits in the vitreous body of the right ocular globe. Because intraocular inflammation was suspected, anterior aqueous humor was collected from the right ocular globe, and bacterial examination was performed with the umbilical artery abscess, urachal abscess, and intraabdominal pus collected intraoperatively.
