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
Since gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) is highly and locally expressed in human breast cancer, a GGT-enzymatically activatable fluorescent probe, gamma-glutamyl hydroxymethyl rhodamine green (gGlu-HMRG), has been developed to detect the human breast cancer area with high performance. In this study, GGT expression and the efficacy of gGlu-HMRG on visualization were investigated in canine mammary gland tumors (MGT). Seventeen non-fixed fresh-frozen MGT specimens and each peritumoral control tissue were utilized. The GGT mRNA levels were highly observed in the tumor specimens compared with the control. GGT immunostaining was mostly observed on the cell membrane and cytosol of the alveolar and duct mammary epithelium of MGT tissues. These signals were strongly positive in several cases while they were mild to not observed in other cases. When gGlu-HMRG solution was dropped to the non-fixed tissue pieces of MGT or control tissues, the fluorescence intensities (FIs) were measured using Maestro in-vivo imaging device. FIs in MGT tissues were significantly higher than each control tissue 20 min after treatment. Based on Youden index method, the maximum sensitivity and specificity of FI was 82.4% and 82.4%. These findings suggest that GGT is highly expressed in several MGTs in dogs and gGlu-HMRG could visualize at least a part of MGT tissues in dogs. Nevertheless, it should be needed to assess the false-negative areas more carefully in canine than human cases.
