Liposarcoma in a Common Quail (Coturnix coturnix): A Case Report.

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
introductionLiposarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue tumour and it has only been occasionally reported in birds such as goose, parrot and falcon. We present a case of unusual liposarcoma located near the uropygial gland in 2-year-old female common quail (Coturnix coturnix). Such cases are rarely documented, emphasizing the importance of understanding their clinical presentation, diagnosis and management. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-year-old female common quail was presented for a veterinary examination because of an abdominal mass that the owner reported grew quickly. The mass recurred within 3 months despite surgical excision in another clinic before, and prompted a secondary assessment. Examination of the prodorsal region revealed a firm, subcutaneous mass. Blood tests were indicative of an inflammatory response with increased neutrophils and a decrease in lymphocytes, while biochemical profiles showed signs of the hypoproteinaemia with low albumin levels and a hypocalcaemia-all likely secondary to the chronic burden associated with the tumour. Necropsy and histopathology identified a 3.5 cm liposarcoma of neoplastic, lipid-rich cells with well-defined morphological characteristics, including polygonal forms and fibrovascular stroma. The diagnosis of a well-differentiated liposarcoma was confirmed with immunohistochemical staining for Vimentin and S-100 markers.
conclusionManagement of liposarcomas in avian patients is often difficult, due to limited established treatments for liposarcomas in avian cases; surgical excision remains the primary approach despite high recurrence rates. This case highlights the value of histopathology and immunohistochemistry as tools to distinguish between liposarcoma and other similar lesions in birds; additionally, it emphasizes the need for more investigation to develop successful therapeutic protocols in avian oncology.
