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

Background: Feline lymphoma is often a fatal disease, and achieving a cure with chemotherapy is questionable. Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) diagnosis was historically associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality, but remission is possible with the newly available treatment. Long-term follow-up data on treated patients remain limited. Case description: A 3.9-year-old neutered male cat presented with hyporexia and lethargy lasting for several days. An abdominal mass was palpated on clinical examination and confirmed to be a renal mass on a computed tomography angiography scan. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirates and cytological evaluation revealed a large-cell renal lymphoma. A modified Cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone protocol with vinblastine addition (Cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone and vinblastine protocol) was started, resulting in a complete response. Twenty weeks after chemotherapy initiation, the cat developed anorexia, fever, and pleural effusion. FIP was diagnosed based on a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test from the pleural effusion. Subcutaneous administration of GS441524 led to FIP resolution. Conclusion: The cat did not receive any further treatment for both FIP and lymphoma. Still alive and well, almost 5 years after the diagnosis. To the author's knowledge, this is the first case of renal lymphoma in a cat that subsequently developed FIP. Further studies on the potential correlation between lymphoma, chemotherapy, and FIP are needed.
