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

Pulmonary botryomycosis is an extremely rare bacterial infection that has not been previously documented in cats. This report describes a case of pulmonary botryomycosis in a 10-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat with chronic pulmonary lesions refractory to long-term corticosteroid therapy. Surgical lobectomy of the right cranial and middle lung lobes was performed. Histopathological examination revealed extensive necrotizing and fibrosing pyogranulomatous inflammation with characteristic club colonies composed of Gram-positive cocci surrounded by eosinophilic Splendore-Hoeppli material. On molecular analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, the highest 16S rDNA sequence homology was Staphylococcus spp. This case represents the first documented instance of pulmonary botryomycosis in a cat and highlights the diagnostic importance of combining histopathological and molecular approaches.
