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 2-year-old neutered female domestic shorthair cat presented with chronic, progressively worsening upper respiratory symptoms that were unresponsive to long-term medical treatment. Initial management involved antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-inflammatory drugs, all of which failed to provide substantial clinical improvement. Diagnostic imaging with computed tomography revealed bilateral nasal and frontal sinus obstructions with viscous inflammatory exudate and localized osteolytic changes in the patient. Despite adjustments to the antimicrobial therapy regimen based on the PCR results, clinical signs persisted. Surgical intervention through frontal sinus trephination, physical removal of the exudate, placement of a temporary drainage tube, and repeated irrigation successfully resolved most of the clinical symptoms. Follow-up over two years showed sustained clinical improvement, with only mild intermittent serous nasal discharge reported. This case highlights the efficacy of surgical management, specifically frontal sinus trephination and repeated irrigation, in the treatment of cats with refractory chronic rhinosinusitis.
