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

The objective of this study was to determine risk factors for vomiting and inappetence and evaluate long-term outcome after surgical treatment of pancreatic β-cell tumors in dogs. Records of 33 dogs that underwent surgery for such tumors were retrospectively evaluated. Inappetence and vomiting occurred in 27.3% and 24.2% of dogs, respectively. Risk factors for postoperative vomiting were longer duration of clinical signs before surgery, higher preoperative total protein concentration, and lack of liver metastasis. No significant risk factors for inappetence or survival were identified. Median survival time was 723 days. Dogs with a longer duration of clinical signs before surgery may have had greater pancreatic involvement or more pronounced systemic perturbations. Higher preoperative total protein concentration may reflect preoperative dehydration or inflammation. Significance of lack of liver metastasis is unknown. The long survival time indicates a good overall prognosis with surgical treatment, justifying surgical intervention in patients with advanced disease.
