Gallbladder torsion without hepatic lobe torsion in a cat.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case summary: A 4-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat was presented with lethargy, anorexia and vomiting that did not improve with symptomatic treatment. Blood tests revealed markedly elevated liver enzymes. Abdominal ultrasound showed gallbladder abnormalities, including a small gallbladder, indistinct fundus, a continuous spiral-shaped morphology forming C- and reverse C-shaped curves, and hyperechoic fat surrounding the gallbladder. An exploratory laparotomy revealed gallbladder torsion without hepatic lobe torsion. Cholecystectomy was performed, and the prognosis was favourable. Relevance and novel information: Gallbladder torsion without hepatic lobe torsion has not been previously reported in cats. The clinical signs, diagnostic imaging features and intraoperative findings differed from those reported in humans and dogs. The unique ultrasonographic appearance seen in this case may assist with future diagnoses of this rare condition in cats.
