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

Lymph node (LN) metastasis has been associated with shorter survival times in dogs with mast cell tumour (MCT), and treatment of metastatic LN with lymphadenectomy or irradiation has been demonstrated to improve outcomes. Identification of metastatic LN in dogs with MCT is therefore of both prognostic and therapeutic significance. The aim of this prospective, exploratory study was to investigate whether fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (
