Calcified mass attached to mitral valve chordae tendineae in a dog with hyperadrenocorticism: A case report.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundDystrophic calcification affecting cardiac structures secondary to hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is rare in dogs. This case report describes the clinical, imaging, surgical, and pathological findings of a 9-year-old spayed female Maltese dog with severe mitral regurgitation and HAC-related systemic calcification presenting as an intracardiac calcified mass. CASE PRESENTATION: Severe mitral valve thickening and a mobile hyperechoic mass attached to the chordae tendineae were detected on echocardiography. Mitral valvuloplasty was performed, and the calcified mass was excised. Histopathology confirmed a non-neoplastic calcified lesion. Computed tomography revealed extensive calcification in various tissues. The dog developed postoperative aspiration pneumonia and died on postoperative day 2.
conclusionsThis case highlights the potential for intracardiac dystrophic calcification in dogs with HAC and severe mitral valve disease.
