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 Golden Retriever was presented with progressive intracranial signs. Neurological examination was consistent with multifocal brain disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed encephaloclastic porencephaly lesions, which were worse on the right side, as well as changes within the fluid compartments, including incomplete fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal suppression, ring-like T1-weighted (T1W) contrast enhancement, and increased post-contrast FLAIR hyperintensity without restricted diffusion. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWAN) susceptibility was noted through the septations of the fluid compartments, and significant pachymeningeal and leptomeningeal thickening and contrast enhancement were observed. The changes were consistent with infection of the porencephalic fluid compartment with hydrocephalus
