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

The domestic cat (Felis catus) shares key biological features with humans, including susceptibility to tumor development. Genomic analysis of 493 feline tumors across 13 histologically defined types revealed striking similarities but also differences to human cancers. These feline tumors arose spontaneously in immunocompetent hosts and environmentally relevant settings, which is reminiscent of the human disease. Like in human cancers, mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 were frequently detected. In contrast, tumor-promoting gain-of-function point mutations in the RAS gene were not found in feline tumors. Functional studies demonstrate translational potential, such as high sensitivity of FBXW7-mutated feline tumoroids to vinca alkaloids. Despite challenges, including variable life histories of affected cats and significant differences in the metabolism of cats and humans, feline oncology could provide important comparative insights into cancer biology and therapeutic vulnerabilities.
