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

Infectious sacroiliitis has not been described in dogs. This retrospective case series describes the presentation, diagnostic imaging characteristics, and outcomes of 2 canine patients with infectious sacroiliitis. Selection criteria included presentation with back pain from 2010 to 2017, diagnostic imaging of the sacroiliac joints, and short- and long-term response to antibiotic therapy. Medical records, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reviewed by a Board-certified veterinary radiologist, a neurologist, and a small animal intern. Two dogs met the inclusion criteria. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed unilaterally wide and irregular sacroiliac joint spaces, with juxta-articular soft tissue contrast enhancement and bone marrow edema. One patient had a communicating abscess of the psoas muscle, which cultured positive for
