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 1.5-year-old female French Bulldog was diagnosed with severe valvular pulmonic stenosis, coronary artery anomaly, and clinical signs of right-sided heart failure. Despite medical management, the patient’s condition deteriorated, and euthanasia was elected after 6 months of treatment. Post-mortem contrast-enhanced computed tomography additionally revealed a single right coronary ostium and confirmed a prepulmonary course of the left coronary artery, consistent with an R2A-type coronary anomaly. This anomaly could have significantly complicated potential surgical or catheter-based interventions on the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with pulmonic stenosis. Contrast-enhanced post-mortem computed tomography enabled non-destructive, reproducible 3D visualization of the coronary course and its spatial relationship to the RVOT before dissection. This approach can complement conventional necropsy by enhancing anatomical documentation, communication, and targeted sampling in cases of complex congenital cardiovascular anomalies.
