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

A 12-year-old neutered male pit bull crossbreed dog was presented because of a right caudal maxillary swelling. Computed tomographic imaging of the skull and revealed a right maxillary mass with lysis of the medial wall of the right orbit and rostral aspect of the zygomatic bone. A biopsy was done, and histopathology results were consistent with a mixed odontogenic tumor. The mass was resected with a caudal maxillectomy and partial inferior orbitectomy with 1-centimeter lateral margins. A transposition flap of the masseter fascia was performed to stabilize the globe. The cosmetic and functional outcomes were excellent during an in-person clinical examination 2 wk postoperatively and at a follow-up 1 y postoperatively (telephone communication with the owner). Key clinical message: The use of the masseter fascia as a transposition flap after a caudal maxillectomy and partial inferior orbitectomy proved successful for orbital stabilization in a dog.
