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

Information on inflammatory laryngeal masses in dogs remains extremely limited. We aimed to describe the clinical and histopathological features and outcomes of five dogs with bilateral, movable inflammatory laryngeal masses. Stridor was a common clinical sign, followed by dysphonia and snoring, all of which were mild. The presence of movable masses was confirmed in all dogs through fluoroscopic or echolaryngographic evaluation. Laryngeal endoscopy identified two masses in each dog, consistent with everted laryngeal saccules. Surgical excision was performed in all dogs, and no recurrence was observed during a median follow-up of 13 months. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic laryngitis characterized by fibrosis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, edema, and lymphangiectasia, consistent with findings reported in laryngeal saccules associated with brachycephalic airway syndrome in dogs.
