Computed Tomographic Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joints of Young Working Labrador Retrievers of Various Work Status Groups: Detected Lesions Vary Among the Different Groups and Finite Element Analyses of the Static Pelvis Yields Repeatable Measures of Sacroiliac Ligament Joint Strain.

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
Musculoskeletal injuries can lead to a working dog being withdrawn from service prior to retirement. During training exercises, young working dogs are often required to perform repetitive tasks, including adoption of an upright posture (or "hupp" task). Non-invasive, quantitative methods would be helpful for supporting research on effects of these repetitive tasks on sacroiliac joints (SIJ). Furthering our understanding of lesions in and biomechanical stresses on the SIJ could provide insight into possible training modifications for minimizing risks of SIJ injury. Aims of this retrospective, secondary analysis, exploratory study were to test hypotheses that (1) mean numbers of SIJ computed tomographic (CT) lesions/dog would differ among work status groups in young working Labrador Retrievers; (2) a methodology for using CT data and finite element analysis (FEA) to quantify SIJ ligament strain in the static canine pelvis would be feasible; and (3) this FEA methodology would yield repeatable measures of SIJ ligament strain. Clinical and CT data for 22 Labrador retriever working dogs, aged 11-48 months, were retrospectively reviewed. Dogs were categorized into three work status groups (Breeder, Detection, Other). A veterinary radiologist who was unaware of dog group status recorded numbers of CT lesions for each SIJ, based on previously published criteria. Mean numbers of SIJ CT lesions/dog were compared among dog work status groups. An
