Immunohistochemistry confirms pulmonary metastases from an adrenal adenocarcinoma causing primary hyperaldosteronism in a cat.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case summary: This report describes a 14-year-and-9-month-old, male neutered cat with a primary adrenal tumour secreting aldosterone with pulmonary metastases, alongside concurrent hyperthyroidism and congestive heart failure. The cat presented with hyporexia and muscular weakness, including marked cervical ventroflexion. Hypokalaemia, hypertension, marked hyperaldosteronaemia and presence of a left-sided adrenal mass were consistent with primary hyperaldosteronism, and pulmonary nodules were detectable radiographically. Congestive heart failure and poor quality of life resulted in euthanasia. Microscopic examination identified an adrenocortical carcinoma, and the histological morphology and immunohistochemical labelling was similar between the primary tumour and pulmonary nodules. Relevance and novel information: Primary hyperaldosteronism is an underdiagnosed condition of cats, causing hypertension and hypokalaemia. Excessive aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal glands and may be caused by tumours. Around half of aldosterone-secreting tumours in cats are malignant, although distant metastases have only been reported once previously. This is the first report of radiographically evident pulmonary metastases from an aldosterone-secreting adrenal tumour confirmed by immunohistochemical labelling.
