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

Canine cutaneous mast cell tumours (MCTs) demonstrate variable clinical behaviour. Histological grading remains the primary prognostic approach, but some low-grade tumours behave aggressively, and interobserver variability persists. This underscores the need for complementary and objective biomarkers. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a non-destructive optical technique based on the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light capable of detecting subtle biochemical changes in tissues. This exploratory study evaluates whether RS could differentiate low-grade from high-grade cutaneous MCTs based on characteristic vibrational signatures. Eighteen canine cutaneous mast cell tumours were graded according to the Kiupel two-tier system, comprising 10 low-grade and 8 high-grade cases. Formalin-fixed tumour samples were analysed, yielding a total of 68 Raman spectra. Spectra were acquired with a 785 nm laser, pre-processed using baseline correction, and normalized to the 1007 cm
