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
We report a rare case of a spontaneous composite tumour with the histopathological characteristics of B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma and histiocytic sarcoma in a 104-week-old male C57BL/6 mouse. It appeared to be a large, well-circumscribed intra-abdominal mass, presumably originating from a mesenteric lymph node. Histological examination revealed two distinct neoplastic cell populations, including small- to intermediate-sized CD20- and Pax5-positive lymphoid cells and large pleomorphic histiocytes expressing Iba1. Both cell types were strongly stained by proliferating cell nuclear antigen, which is indicative of high proliferative activity. No evidence of metastases was observed in other organs. While single cases of similar composite neoplasms have been reported in humans, this is the first documented case in a laboratory mouse. These findings expand the known spectrum of spontaneous hematopoietic tumours in aged mice and highlight the importance of comprehensive histopathological and immunophenotypic evaluation in diagnosing atypical lesions.
