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 12-year-old male castrated Shih Tzu presented with a suspected intracranial granular cell tumor (GCT) in the left cerebrum. The clinical signs had resolved post stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) of 3 consecutive days of 8 Gy, and serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed maximum 56.8% tumor volume reduction 9 months post SRT. Serial MRI showed progressive cerebral microbleeds. The patient neurologically declined 18 months after SRT and was euthanized. A full necropsy, cytologic, and histologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of GCT. This is the first reported canine case with cytologically and histologically confirmed intracranial GCT treated with SRT with serial MRI at regular intervals following treatment.
