Surgical removal of an intradural brainstem foreign body (microchip) with a ventral basioccipital approach in a kitten.
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: A 2-month-old kitten was presented for ataxia and depressed mental status after implantation of a pet identification microchip. Radiographs were taken immediately by the referring veterinarian and showed a longitudinal metallic foreign body (electronic microchip) within the cervical vertebral canal at the craniocervical junction. A CT examination 2 days after the incident showed cranial migration of the microchip ventrally to the caudal brainstem. Ventral basioccipital craniectomy was immediately performed to retrieve the microchip by a ventral approach to the caudal brainstem. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the cat was discharged 2 days later. At the 2-week follow-up, neurological examination of the cat was normal. No long-term complications were reported. Relevance and novel information: This case report describes the intradural migration of a microchip and surgical removal via ventral basioccipital craniectomy.
