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 3-year-old neutered male mixed-breed cat was presented with right urinary tract obstruction caused by a urolith and severe atrophy of the left kidney. In the next year and a half, chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressed, and several masses were identified in the extremities, along with an ulcer on the tongue. Histologically, the extremity masses consisted of calcium deposits separated by fibrovascular septa, and the tongue ulcer showed severe neutrophilic infiltration with pervasive calcium deposition. These lesions were diagnosed as calcinosis circumscripta (CCs). Concurrently, multifocal mineralization of the aorta and of small- to medium-sized arteries in several organs indicated widespread vascular calcification. Both extremity and vascular lesions were likely secondary to the excessive calcium-phosphate product caused by CKD. Although CCs in either the extremities or tongue has been reported in cats, this case is notable for the presence of CCs in both extremities and tongue with systemic vascular calcification.
