Evaluation of corneal ulcer type, skull conformation, and other risk factors in dogs: A retrospective study of 347 cases.

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
Objective: To investigate the incidence of corneal ulceration (CU) and establish risk factors for dogs referred to an academic referral hospital in Ontario, Canada. Animals: Dogs (N = 1101). Procedure: Type of CU, number of CU diagnoses, breed, skull conformation, weight, sex, neuter status, age, and comorbidities were analyzed for simple CU, spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs), and complex CU. Complex ulcers were subdivided into deep, presence of keratomalacia, descemetoceles, and corneal lacerations and foreign bodies (CLFB). Results: The inclusion criteria were met by 347 dogs and 754 served as a control population of non-corneal ulceration (NCU) cases. Complex ulcers predominated ( Conclusion: Skull conformation, age, body weight, and comorbidities were identified risk factors for CU. Clinical relevance: Knowledge of risk factors will help veterinarians triage at risk demographics.
