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 3-year-old, female neutered Bichon Frise was presented with a 2-day history of behavioral changes and ataxia. The neurological examination was consistent with diffuse forebrain involvement, with left lateralization. An MRI study identified bilaterally symmetrical T2W/T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR) hyperintense, T1W hypointense, non-enhancing lesions involving the basal nuclei, with restricted diffusion and hemorrhage affecting both caudate nuclei. Similar bilaterally symmetrical T2W/T2-FLAIR hyperintense lesions were noted in the hypothalamus, midbrain, and occipital lobes. Histopathological examination indicated concomitant granulomatous meningoencephalitis and necrotizing encephalitis. This case report documents previously unreported bilaterally symmetrical canine brain lesions suspected to be secondary to an autoimmune inflammatory etiology.
