Evaluation of muscle mass and intramuscular fatty infiltration in dogs with hypercortisolism and their association with prognosis.
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 3 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
backgroundMuscle atrophy and intramuscular fatty infiltration, as well as their association with prognosis, have not been quantified in dogs with spontaneous hypercortisolism (HC).
objectiveTo quantitatively evaluate muscle atrophy and IM fatty infiltration in dogs with HC and determine their prognostic impact. ANIMALS: Fifty-three dogs with HC and 66 control dogs without HC.
methodsRetrospective cohort study. Medical records and computed tomography images obtained between 2014 and 2021 were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to analyze the effect of muscle atrophy and IM fatty infiltration on the prognosis of dogs with HC.
resultsDogs with HC showed lower visually measured cross-sectional area (VCSA) and cross-sectional area based on attenuation (HCSA) than control dogs (median [interquartile range {IQR}]: 50.3 mm CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Hypercortisolism in dogs causes muscle atrophy and IM fatty infiltration and is associated with poor prognosis.
