Association of hydromyelia and acute compressive myelopathy caused by intervertebral disc extrusion in dogs.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundHydromyelia is a common magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding associated with compressive myelopathy caused by intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE).
objectivesTo describe the MRI features of hydromyelia and explore its relationship to clinical history, neurological severity, and the duration of cord compression. ANIMALS: Ninety-one client-owned dogs with a focal compressive myelopathy secondary to thoracolumbar IVDE.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted in which MRIs were blindly evaluated to grade and localize hydromyelia and measure the degree of spinal cord compression. Duration and severity of clinical signs were recorded. Differences between hydromyelia grades in these variables were statistically assessed using a Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis test. Receiver operator curve analysis was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity for duration of clinical signs to predict the presence of hydromyelia.
resultsHydromyelia was identified at sites of IVDE in 84 of 91 dogs. An absence of hydromyelia was associated a with statistically longer duration of clinical signs (mean 73.1, IQR 76 days) when compared to cases with mild (mean 17.7, IQR 7.25 days, P = .006) or severe (mean 17.9, IQR 10.25 days, P = .006) hydromyelia. Duration of clinical signs <14 days was 78.6% sensitive and 85.7% specific for predicting the presence of hydromyelia. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: The MRI finding of hydromyelia might be a predictor of lesion chronicity in focal IVDE, helping to guide planning of hemilaminectomy surgery.
