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

A 1-year-3-month-old neutered female ferret presented with anorexia, weight loss, and increased liver enzymes and total bile acids. On day 49 of illness, neurologic signs appeared, necessitating humane euthanasia. Macroscopically, the liver was pale yellow with an irregular surface, and two tortuous shunt vessels from the cranial mesenteric vein to the caudal vena cava were observed cranial to the left kidney. Microscopically, single or a few hepatocytes were demarcated by reticular and collagen fibers with an extensive ductular reaction throughout all liver lobes. Bacterial chronic cholangitis was observed. Bilaterally symmetrical spongy degeneration was observed in the brain nuclei. Collectively, the present case showed lobular dissecting hepatitis-like chronic hepatitis with chronic cholangitis, accompanied by an acquired portosystemic shunt and hepatic encephalopathy.
