1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the revised Animal Welfare and Management Law in Japan became effective on June 1st, 2022, it became mandatory for pet dogs and cats to have microchips implanted and registered prior to be sold. Two cases of spinal cord injury as the result of inappropriate microchip implantation in puppies were referred to our facility, of which were diagnosed by cervical spinal radiography and computed tomography (CT). While adverse reactions following microchip implantation are rare, the possibility of iatrogenic spinal cord injury remains a serious complication. This is the first report of adverse reactions following microchip implantation in Japan, and it alerts the possibility of iatrogenic spinal cord injury secondary to inappropriate microchip implantation, where adequate training and extra caution is crucial especially in small light-weight animals.
