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 Labrador Retriever (4-year-old, castrated male) with signs of fatigue was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect at his primary veterinary clinic. Due to the uncertainty of this diagnosis, he was referred to the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Animal Medical Center for further investigation. Transthoracic echocardiography performed on arrival showed an irregular blood flow from the left atrium (LA) to the right atrium (RA), yet no opening was found in the septum. An electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) exam revealed a communication between the coronary sinus (CS) and the LA, causing a shunt between the LA and the RA. A diagnosis of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (UCSS) was made. The dog's condition was stable and plans to keep observations were made. This is the first case of UCSS diagnosed with an ECG-gated CT exam.
