A retrospective study of sinonasal tumors in 182 dogs treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (3 × 10 Gy) (2010-2015).
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundStereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is an emerging treatment for sinonasal tumors in dogs. Reported results regarding tumor control and incidence of acute and late radiation morbidities are inconsistent.
objectivesTo determine treatment efficacy and prognostic indicators of SRT in dogs with sinonasal tumors and to quantify acute and late radiation morbidities. ANIMALS: One hundred and eighty-two client-owned dogs with sinonasal tumors diagnosed cytologically, histologically, or radiographically that underwent SRT.
methodsSingle-arm retrospective study by reviewing medical records of dogs treated with SRT (10 Gy × 3) between 2010 and 2015. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine overall survival (OST; from the first day of SRT to death by any cause) and disease-specific survival times (DSST; OST but censoring tumor/treatment-unrelated death). Tumors were staged using modified Adams criteria.
resultsMedian OST and DSST of dogs treated with 1 course of SRT was 441 (95% CI: 389-493 days) and 482 (428-536 days) days, respectively with skin/oral cavity acute morbidities observed in 3% of dogs. DSST in dogs with stage 4 disease showed no statistical difference compared to other stages (P = .64). Oro-nasal (n = 2) or naso-cutaneous (n = 11) fistula development occurred in 7.1% of dogs with median time of 425 days (range: 83-1733 days). Possible chronic rhinitis after SRT was recorded in 54 of 88 dogs (61%) where information was available. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Results are comparable to other reports of treatment of SRT. Acute morbidities were minimal. Modified Adams stage scheme appeared to be inappropriate for prognostication for dogs with sinonasal tumors treated with SRT.
