Bronchoscopic cryotherapy for biopsy and debulking of tracheal myxosarcoma 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: A 10-year-old, castrated male domestic shorthair cat presented with stertor and severe respiratory distress caused by intratracheal masses occluding the majority of the tracheal lumen. Conventional endoscopic forceps biopsy yielded small tissue fragments, which were insufficient for a definitive histopathological diagnosis. Given the perceived high risk of tracheal resection and anastomosis, bronchoscopic cryotherapy with a 1.1 mm, flexible cryoprobe was performed for cryobiopsy and cryo-debulking. The masses occluded 80-90% of the lumen and were completely removed with cryotherapy, with immediate clinical improvement and decreased airway resistance (279 to 31 cmH Relevance and novel information: This report documents the first described tracheal myxosarcoma in a cat and demonstrates that bronchoscopic cryobiopsy can overcome the limitations of forceps biopsy while providing concurrent, airway-sparing palliative debulking. Bronchoscopic cryotherapy could serve as a feasible, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic intervention for intraluminal tracheal masses in cats.
