A retrospective review of canine benign prostatic hyperplasia with and without prostatitis.
Article in Clinical theriogenology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common prostatic disorder in older intact male dogs, but despite its prevalence, there are inconsistencies in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although prostate size was historically considered the hallmark feature of BPH in men, currently, there is only a weak correlation between prostate size and clinical severity. We performed a retrospective cohort study with the primary objective of assessing clinical signs, ultrasonographic findings, treatments, and outcomes in dogs diagnosed with BPH, with and without concurrent prostatitis. We reviewed medical records and obtained data on presenting signs, prostatic imaging, and prevalence of concurrent bacteriuria. Prostate size was determined by ultrasonography and compared to the calculated expected size based on patient age and weight. Treatment and outcome were described for the cases with a minimum 2 months follow-up. Median age of dogs diagnosed with BPH was 8 years. Clinical signs were present in 16/25 dogs and scored as mild to moderate (median Zambelli's Symptom Index for BPH score 12). The median prostatic volume to body mass ratio was 1.60 mm
