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 9-year-old domestic short hair cat presented with a firm thoracic mass suspected to be a lipoma. Preoperative indocyanine green was administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/kg for short-wave infrared fluorescence imaging. Intraoperatively, a plaque-like lipoma overlaid a subjacent mass that exhibited strong fluorescence. Both were excised, and histopathology confirmed the subjacent mass as a well-differentiated liposarcoma. The cat recovered uneventfully with no recurrence at 11 months. This case highlights the utility of short-wave infrared fluorescence imaging in distinguishing benign from malignant tissues intraoperatively and enabling precise resection. To our knowledge, this is the first report of feline liposarcoma identified through short-wave infrared fluorescence imaging, demonstrating its potential as a valuable tool in veterinary oncology.
