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 captive male Japanese raccoon dog died after self-mutilation by biting its tail and developing anorexia. At necropsy, ulceration of the tail root and pelvic region, an abdominal mass, multifocal nodules in the lungs, and thrombi in the heart were observed. Histopathological examinations revealed multifocal pyogranulomatous inflammation in the lungs, abdominal mass, spleen, brain, liver, and kidneys. Gram-positive bacterial aggregates were observed in the lungs, abdominal mass, and spleen. These organisms were partially acid-fast and periodic acid-Schiff-positive, and branching filaments were observed on Grocott's methenamine silver staining. Nocardia aobensis was identified in the abdominal mass by PCR and sequence analysis. These findings suggest that N. aobensis should be considered a potential cause of disseminated pyogranulomatous disease in animals.
