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 10-year-old Labrador Retriever bitch, spayed at 2 years of age, was presented to our veterinary care facility with a history of vulvar swelling, vaginal discharge, and male attraction for over 1 month. Vaginoscopy revealed edema and reddening of the vaginal mucosa. Vaginal cytology was consistent with estrus, while serum progesterone levels remained at baseline. On abdominal ultrasound, the uterus was hyperplastic, and fluid-filled cysts were visualized at both ovarian anatomic sites. Hysterectomy and excision of tissue from both ovarian sites were performed 10 days after the initial presentation. The gross appearance of the uterus was consistent with cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH), confirmed by histopathology. Ovaries were not detected microscopically; however, small multifocal nests, occasionally forming pseudocysts or follicle-like structures, were observed in continuity with the uterine horns and embedded within the myometrium. These nests consisted of well-differentiated round to polygonal and occasionally spindle-shaped cells that underwent luteinization. These cells were immunopositive for inhibin-
