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

Combined abdominal and thoracic pathology caused by extra-gastrointestinal migration of an ingested wooden foreign body (WFB) is an uncommon but serious injury. Presenting clinical signs are typically nonspecific and, in the absence of observed WFB ingestion, diagnosis is challenging. Treatment requires concurrent abdominal and thoracic surgical exploration to remove the WFB and address injuries caused by its migration. This case series describes perioperative characteristics and outcomes in 4 dogs following combined median sternotomy and ventral midline laparotomy (CMSVML) for bicavitary penetrating WFBs. Key clinical message: Treatment of bicavitary penetrating WFBs with CMSVML provided postoperative outcomes similar to those in previous reports; however, high-grade complications and prolonged hospitalization were commonly encountered.
