Brain asymmetry and morphometric measurements of the encephalon in Van cats by magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. 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
Background: Brain asymmetry is defined as neuroanatomical or functional differences between the brain's left and right hemispheres. These differences can be explained as morphometric changes in regional brain size or functional changes resulting from neuronal density. Aim: This study aimed to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the brain tissue of Van cats, obtain anatomical morphometric measurements, and examine brain asymmetry. Methods: A total of 20 healthy adult Van cats, including 10 females and 10 males, who had not undergone any surgical procedures, were included in the study. The animals were anesthetized using a combination of ketamine and xylazine. Midsagittal and dorsal cross-sectional images were acquired using an MRI scanner. Images were transferred to a workstation and processed in digital imaging and communications in medicine format. Morphometric measurements were obtained using the Enlil picture archiving and communication system radiological image processing and archiving program. Results: Statistical analysis of the morphometric measurements revealed that, with the exception of encephalon height, most parameters were significantly higher in male Van cats ( Conclusion: This study provides a valuable tool for defining some morphometric measurements of the sagittal and dorsal planes of the brain of Van cats and demonstrating brain asymmetry in cats.
