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

Case summary: A 1-year-old spayed female mixed-breed cat presented with chronic large bowel diarrhoea. The cat was treated with various antibiotics, prednisolone and dietary supplements without significant improvement. Endoscopic examination revealed an irregular colonic mucosa with multifocal erosion and haemorrhage. Impression smears of the colonic mucosa contained large numbers of unicellular round-to-oval organisms and macrophages. Histologically, granulomatous inflammation with numerous organisms was observed in the lamina propria of the colonic mucosa. The organisms had a cell wall and internal segmentation, which were positive on periodic acid-Schiff and Grocott's methenamine silver staining. Immunohistochemically, CD204-positive macrophages had accumulated in the lesions. Ultrastructural examination revealed dense bodies and starch granules, and the absence of chloroplasts in the cytoplasm of the organisms. PCR and a sequence analysis detected the Relevance and novel information: This first report of feline intestinal protothecosis suggests that
