First report of a cat (Felis catus) infected by Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis from Southeastern Brazil.

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
Feline leishmaniasis is increasingly recognized as a disease affecting cats worldwide, with notable prevalence in regions surrounding the Mediterranean Basin and in Brazil. An approximately one-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented with small papules and nodules (2 mm) on the nasal planum. Physical examination and routine blood analyses were normal. The cat tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Skin biopsies of the lesions were conducted, removing the nodules entirely due to their small size. The samples were submitted for histopathological and molecular analysis. Histopathology confirmed the presence of Leishmania amastigotes, while PCR-RFLP and Sanger sequencing of the hsp70 gene identified the infecting species as Leishmania guyanensis. The patient has since been under continuous clinical monitoring every six months, with no recurrence observed to date. This is the first documented case of L. guyanensis infection in a domestic cat, underscoring the need for improved diagnostic accuracy and a broader understanding of feline leishmaniasis.
