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

Radiation-induced peripheral neuropathy (RIPN) is a well-known late adverse effect of radiotherapy (RT) in humans, but to date, is not reported in companion animals. An 11-year-old spayed female beagle was presented for evaluation regarding a progressive left sciatic neuropathy. The dog had received stereotactic RT (20 Gy) following excision of a grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma over the proximo-caudal aspect of the left thigh approximately 19 months prior to the onset of signs. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the left sciatic nerve was consistent with RIPN, and histopathology of the sciatic nerve supported severe nerve fiber loss. No improvement was observed with an anti-inflammatory course of corticosteroids, and the affected limb was subsequently amputated.
