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 5-month-old male golden retriever dog was presented with a solitary, rapidly growing cutaneous mass on the left thoracic wall. The medical history was unremarkable and no other clinical abnormalities were identified. After wide surgical resection, histopathological evaluation revealed a malignant tumor of small, round, atypic basophilic neoplastic cells positive for neuron-specific enolase and pancytokeratin, providing a diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma. With clean histological margins and absence of local or distant metastasis, no recurrence was reported during a minimum follow-up period of 20 mo. The dog developed an oral nodule 12 mo after surgery. Histopathological evaluation revealed a papilloma, and PCR was positive for
