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

objectiveTo report and compare two surgical approaches to the feline radial diaphysis and outline optimal techniques to maximize surgical exposure. STUDY

designEx vivo experimental comparative study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Left and right antebrachia of three feline cadavers.

methodsSix feline antebrachia were collected from cadavers submitted for research purposes. Each limb was sequentially dissected for both craniomedial and craniolateral surgical approaches totalling 12 surgical approaches, or 24 when including and excluding the supinator muscle. Following each approach, photographs were taken and inserted into an image measuring software, to obtain the area of surgical exposure. The datum was then analyzed to ascertain which approach afforded the greatest exposure and whether the difference was statistically significant.

resultsThe mean surface area for the craniolateral approach, including and excluding the supinator muscle, was 4.13 cm

conclusionSurgical exposure achieved via the craniolateral and craniomedial approaches to the feline radial diaphysis is comparable. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study validates the use of the craniolateral surgical approach to the feline radial diaphysis.
