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 2-year-old female Sprague-Dawley rat (Rattus norvegicus) presented with mild vaginal bleeding and no additional clinical signs. Physical examination revealed a firm intra-abdominal mass and unilateral renal enlargement. Diagnostic evaluation including CBC, serum chemistry, and CT identified neutrophilia, metabolic abnormalities, and a large abdominal mass causing displacement of abdominal organs. Differential diagnoses included urinary tract infection, reproductive tract disease, and neoplasia. Due to poor prognosis, humane euthanasia was performed. Necropsy and histopathology revealed uterine adenocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis. Splenomegaly was also identified, consistent with disseminated large granular lymphocyte leukemia involvement. This case demonstrates that subtle clinical abnormalities in aged laboratory rats may represent severe disseminated neoplastic disease.
