Quantitative assessment of mucosal fibrosis and its correlation with disease severity and outcome in cats with chronic enteropathy.

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
ObjectivesThis study aimed to develop a quantitative scoring method for the evaluation of mucosal fibrosis (MF) and assess its correlation with World Small Animal Veterinary Association scores, clinical abnormalities, disease severity, diagnosis and outcome in cats with lymphoplasmacytic enteritis (LPE) or low-grade intestinal T-cell lymphoma (LGITL).MethodsFormalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded small intestinal biopsy specimens from 13 cats with LPE and 14 cats with LGITL were included. MF was quantitatively measured in three separate areas (villi, apical crypts [ACs] and basal crypts) using an image processing program. The fractional fibrotic area (%FFA) was calculated based on the mean fibrosis scores in five representative fields. MF was also scored by a single board-certified pathologist on sequential slides stained with either hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or Masson's trichrome (MT) on a four-point scale in the areas described above. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the correlation between clinical and pathological variables, diagnosis and outcome.ResultsThe %FFA scores correlated well with fibrosis scores on MT stains (
