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

In both human and veterinary medicine, computed tomography (CT) volumetry provides a quantitative and accurate measure of liver volume. While CT volumetry is recognized as a useful method for assessing liver volume in dogs, a statistically significant reference interval for liver volume in dogs with no history of hepatic disease has not been reported. The purpose of the present study was to define a reference interval for liver volume with no history of hepatic disease using CT volumetry. Medical records from 2 June 2020 to 25 July 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, including 121 dogs that underwent abdominal CT scans and had no history of hepatic disease. Liver volumes were measured using CT volumetry and normalized by body weight. The median of normalized CT-based liver volume in 121 dogs was 22.2 cm
