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 spayed female Korean shorthair cat was presented with hematemesis and lethargy. Marked volume of free peritoneal gas was identified on abdominal radiographs. Bile pigment was identified in peritoneal fluid obtained by abdominocentesis, consistent with biliary peritonitis. Ultrasound examination was limited by pneumoperitoneum and severe peritonitis, making it difficult to differentiate gastrointestinal perforation from biliary system rupture. Two defects in the proximal duodenum near the major duodenal papilla (MDP) were identified with a non-anesthetic computed tomography (CT) scan. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed two perforations and revealed severe biliary peritonitis. Despite surgical repair and intensive treatment, the cat died 3 days later. This case highlights the importance of considering duodenal perforation near the MDP as a differential diagnosis when pneumoperitoneum and biliary peritonitis are present.
