Video-assisted thoracic surgery of a caudal mediastinal paraoesophageal abscess in a cat with recurrent pyothorax.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case summary: A 6-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was presented with acute respiratory distress and lethargy. Three months prior, the cat had been medically managed for a bacterial pyothorax. Initial stabilisation included oxygen supplementation, and a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) revealed bilateral pleural effusion. A thoracostomy tube was placed and pleural fluid was aseptically collected. Cytological evaluation of the pleural fluid was consistent with a septic neutrophilic exudate, with Relevance and novel information: CMPAs are rarely described in cats. This case outlines the clinical features, diagnostic investigations, treatment and outcome of a cat with a CMPA. The case reinforces the importance of repeat diagnostic imaging in cats with recurrent pyothorax and highlights the feasibility and challenges of VATS for CMPA removal, which has not been previously described in cats.
