Computed Tomographic Findings of Liver Cirrhosis in Dogs: Comparison between Compensated and Decompensated Cirrhosis.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to describe computed tomography (CT) characteristics of histologically confirmed cirrhosis and to compare these CT characteristics between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. Sixteen dogs who underwent contrast CT and histopathological examinations were included; eleven dogs were assigned to the compensated group, and five dogs were assigned to the decompensated group. Irregular hepatic contours with a diffuse nodular distribution and hepatic lymph node enlargement are common concomitant features of cirrhotic livers on CT images. The enhancement patterns of the regenerative nodules and hepatic parenchyma were not significantly different from each other. Hypoattenuating areas with delayed contrast enhancement indicating fibrotic tissue were confirmed in 56.3% of cases. Hypoattenuating wedge-shaped area or nodule with minor or no contrast enhancement (histopathologically confirmed as focal necrosis) were confirmed in 37.5% of cases. Among CT variables, only normalized liver volume and portal vein-to-aorta ratio were significantly lower (
