Echocardiographic changes in the progress of reverse shunt and improvement to left-to-right shunt after medical treatment in dogs with bidirectional patent ductus arteriosus or ventricular septal defect: A report of two cases.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Two Maltese dogs were referred for evaluation of a congenital heart disease: one was diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus and the other was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect. The PDA patient was diagnosed with congenital heart disease 2 weeks ago and the VSD patient about 11 months ago at another hospital. Echocardiographic findings revealed a bidirectional shunt condition, and the dogs were treated with medical management using sildenafil and oxygen inhalation. After medical management, the dogs returned to clinically normal conditions, and echocardiographic findings revealed a return to left-to-right shunt tendency. These dogs had no clinical signs associated with heart disease 3 years after treatment. This case report describes changes in echocardiography findings according to the progression of the reverse shunt and the possibility of improvement to a left-to-right shunt after medical treatment.
