A rare case of gastroduodenal junction Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma in a cat: pathological findings and follow-up.

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
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm predominantly affecting pediatric human patients and has rarely been reported in veterinary medicine. We described the clinicopathological features of an uncommon gastroduodenal junction KHE in a 2-year-old male cat presented with a history of intermittent vomiting, acutely worsening over 48 h. Imaging and endoscopic evaluation revealed complete pyloric obstruction caused by an infiltrative mass with enlarged regional lymph nodes, which were surgically excised and examined histologically and immunohistochemically. Specimens were routinely processed and stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin and Masson's Trichrome. Immunohistochemical analysis was made using an extended panel of endothelial markers, including Erythroblastosis Transformation-Specific Regulated Gene (ERG) and caveolin-1 (Cav-1), which, to the authors' knowledge, have not previously been applied in feline vascular tumors, in addition to von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Histologically, the gastroduodenal junction exhibited transmural infiltration by a poorly delimited mass composed of spindle cells organized in short fascicles with slit-like vascular lumina, and a swirling growth pattern conferring a glomeruloid morphology. Neoplastic endothelial cells demonstrated immunoreactivity for von Willebrand factor, ERG and Cav-1 and were surrounded by α-SMA positive cells, supporting the diagnosis of KHE. Gastric lymph nodes displayed marked sclerosis and lymphoid atrophy. The cat showed no recurrence or metastasis one year after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a gastroduodenal KHE in animals. This report highlights the value of expanded immunohistochemical panels in differentiating KHE from other vascular lesions and suggests a possible paraneoplastic fibrotic response within regional lymph nodes.
