A novel dextran polymer hydrogel local antimicrobial therapy in dogs: A pilot study.
Trial report in The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Our purpose was to evaluate physical, laboratory, and/or radiographic abnormalities associated with a novel dextran polymer hydrogel local antimicrobial agent impregnated with amikacin and clindamycin in dogs having tibial plateau leveling osteotomy implants removed due to suspected surgical site infection. A total of 28 client-owned dogs were enrolled and 20 completed the study. Routine plate explantation and bacterial cultures were performed and the polymer hydrogel was applied to the surgery site. No systemic antimicrobials were used after surgery. Serum biochemistry, hematology, urinalysis, physical examinations, and radiographs were monitored before surgery and up to 12 wk after surgery. Sixteen of the 20 dogs (80%) had a positive bacterial culture, 44% of which were methicillin resistant. There were no significant alterations of laboratory values, physical examination, or radiographs to indicate adverse reactions to the polymer hydrogel. There were no signs of inflammation or infection in any patient at the 12-week postoperative recheck.
