Ectopic Splenic Tissue Mimicking Malignant Neoplasia in a Dog.

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.
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 14-year-old neutered male dog with a history of splenectomy for hemoabdomen secondary to a benign splenic lesion was evaluated for hyporexia and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated multiple large, irregular, mildly vascularized mesenteric masses with heterogeneous echotexture and multifocal cavitated regions. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed ectopic splenic tissue with extensive hematoma formation and no evidence of malignancy. This case highlights the potential for benign ectopic splenic tissue to closely mimic aggressive neoplasia on imaging and emphasizes the importance of including ectopic splenic tissue in the differential diagnosis of cavitated abdominal masses, particularly in dogs with a history of hemoabdomen and/or splenectomy.
