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

Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are a rare type of tumor that occur in the anterior mediastinum. The biological behavior of these tumors and the prognostic factors in dogs remain unclear. Although several studies have suggested that clinical staging (Masaoka classification) is related to prognosis, the prognostic significance of histological subtypes (WHO classification) and paraneoplastic syndromes remains controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate whether paraneoplastic syndromes, Masaoka classification, and WHO classification are associated with the prognosis of canine TET. Hypercalcemia and anemia were observed as paraneoplastic syndromes in the 29 dogs included in this study. The presence of hypercalcemia did not result in a statistical difference in median survival time. Anemia could not be statistically analyzed due to the small number of cases. Our results suggest that the WHO classification, like the Masaoka classification, may also be useful for predicting the prognosis of canine TET.
