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

This case report describes a 4-year-old Golden Retriever with chronic progressive motor impairment of pelvic limbs. A neurological examination revealed non-painful ambulatory paraparesis, and magnetic resonance imaging detected an eccentric cystic lesion that compressed the thoracic part of the spinal cord. The surgical approach consisted of spinal cord decompression and lesion excision, along with vertebral column stabilization. A neuropathological examination revealed dural and arachnoid hypertrophic calcifying changes with lymphoplasmacytic and neutrophilic infiltration. This is the first documented case of inflammatory meningoproliferative spinal cord disorder associated with arachnoid diverticulum formation in dogs.
