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

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine if there were any characteristic features of urethral ruptures (URs) on plain radiographs of cats.MethodsA retrospective, multicentre, case-control study was conducted. Radiographs including the perineum of 22 cats with UR and 70 cats without UR were blindly assessed by two reviewers, scrutinising for features including a perineal bulge, heterogeneous perineal tissue and visibility of the urinary bladder.ResultsA significant association was identified between URs and a perineal bulge (
