A case report of multiple cervical and mediastinal sialoceles in a dog: a rare differential for mediastinal masses with pleural effusion.

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
Mediastinal masses with pleural effusion in dogs typically raise suspicion for thymoma or mediastinal lymphoma, necessitating careful differentiation. This paper describes a 12-year-old neutered male dog presenting with acute-onset coughing. Radiographic imaging revealed mild pleural effusion with an expanded cranial mediastinum. Subsequent ultrasonographic and computed tomographic examinations identified multiple masses extending from the cervical region to the cranial mediastinum. Cytologic analysis of the pleural fluid revealed findings suggestive of a salivary origin, with mild inflammatory cell infiltration. The pleural effusion was repeatedly drained and monitored radiographically. All lesions regressed gradually without surgical intervention. This rare case highlights the need to consider differential diagnoses beyond thymoma and lymphoma when mediastinal masses with pleural effusion are present.
