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 15-month-old Holstein heifer developed progressive swelling of the right rear udder 3 month. The heifer was euthanized to investigate the cause. Postmortem examination revealed a solid mass measuring approximately 10 × 10 × 10 cm in the lactiferous sinus of the right rear udder. Histopathologically, the mass consisted of glandular and ductal proliferation of epithelial-like cells with slight atypia. Immunohistochemically, the cells were strongly positive for pan-cytokeratin (CK) and CK7, and approximately 25% of the cells were strongly positive for estrogen receptor. The Ki-67 proliferation index of tumor cells was 4.53%. No neoplastic proliferation of myoepithelial cells or fibrous connective tissue was observed. The mass was diagnosed as a simple adenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of mammary simple adenoma in a Holstein heifer, and in such a young heifer without a history of artificial insemination or pregnancy.
