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

This case report describes a 6-year-old female neutered Boxer dog diagnosed with calvarial ossifying fibroma presenting with left-sided periocular swelling, nasal discharge, epistaxis, and subtle exophthalmos. Diagnostic investigations included serial computed tomography (CT; five studies over 14 months), ultrasound-guided needle aspiration, surgical biopsy, and CT-guided core biopsy. CT identified a well-delineated, non-mineralized, strongly enhancing expansile lesion within the orbital portion of the left frontal bone with retrobulbar tissue displacement and a lobular sinonasal mass causing unilateral turbinate destruction. Progressive mineralization of the calvarial lesion was observed on subsequent CT studies following surgery and radiotherapy. Histopathology confirmed ossifying fibroma in both components (left frontal bone and sinonasal mass). The patient received partial surgical excision followed by definitive external beam volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT), achieving durable local control with no recurrence after more than 1 year. The patient required ongoing ophthalmological monitoring and long-term medication following VMAT.
