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
In Canada, registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) are highly trained, regulated professionals working as an integral part of the veterinary team, but there has been little work to quantify their impact on veterinary practices. The objectives of the study were to explore the utilization rates of RVTs and quantify the economic value that RVTs bring to veterinary practices in Ontario, Canada. An online survey was deployed to explore the function of RVTs and their non-credentialed counterparts in practices. There were 169 responses, with 112 respondents providing economic indicators. For each additional RVT/veterinarian, gross annual revenue per veterinarian (RPV) increased by $79 118 (SE = $21 146,
