Approach to the diagnosis of bilateral ureteral transitional cell carcinoma in a cat.
Article in Brazilian journal of veterinary medicine, 2026. 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
A cat with bilateral ureteral obstruction and long-term urolithiasis that had been medically managed for a year was presented to the emergency department of our hospital. Severe azotemia and metabolic acidosis were identified. Ultrasonography and computed tomography supported a diagnosis of ureteral calculi, with no evidence of other underlying abnormalities. During exploratory laparotomy, irreversible renal failure secondary to bilateral ureteral obstruction was suspected, and euthanasia was elected. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the ureters revealed tubulopapillary urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma). This case is noteworthy because it represents only the second reported case of feline ureteral transitional cell carcinoma associated with ureteral calculi causing bilateral ureteral obstruction. It also highlights that ureteral calculi may coexist with ureteral transitional cell carcinoma in cats, potentially masking the underlying neoplasm and delaying its diagnosis.
