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

This retrospective multicentre study investigated haemorrhagic myelopathy as a rare complication of steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) in nine dogs. The affected dogs exhibited varied neurological deficits, including cervical hyperesthesia, generalised stiffness, ambulatory tetraparesis, and, in the most severe cases, paraplegia without nociception. MRI findings primarily localised haemorrhagic lesions to the thoracolumbar (T3-L3) region, with intradural-extramedullary haemorrhages being the most common type. Most cases responded favourably to immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone, either alone or in combination with cytarabine. Surgical intervention, performed in a case of compressive extradural haemorrhage, led to a successful recovery of ambulation. Two cases presented or developed paraplegia without nociception, despite immunosuppression. These findings emphasise the importance of advanced imaging and timely therapeutic interventions in addressing atypical and severe manifestations of SRMA.
