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

An 11-month-old neutered male mixed-breed cat was presented to the referring hospital with the chief complaint of progressive ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-defined, ovoid, solitary mass on the left side of the fourth ventricle. Immunostaining of surgically excised tissue led to a diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a central nervous system (CNS)-FIP presenting as a solitary fourth ventricular mass identified by MRI. CNS-FIP should be considered as a differential diagnosis when encountering cases of young cats with a solitary mass lesion in the fourth ventricle.
