Canine epilepsy/seizure occurrence in primary care and referral populations: a look into the epidemiology across countries.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition in dogs. Analysis of primary care populations across countries can provide a more complete understanding of the epidemiology of this condition and provide context for spectrum of care discussions. This narrative literature review was aimed at understanding canine epilepsy/seizure prevalence in primary care populations, and changes in occurrence across geography, culture, and socioeconomic status. There are few studies to give insight into the true general population of epileptic canines and there is inconsistency in the literature regarding the standards applied for epilepsy diagnosis across primary care and referral practices. Therefore, the future focus should be on more epidemiological research in primary care and mixed populations, more veterinary education to standardize use of medical guidelines in primary care settings, and increased awareness of the benefits of having pet insurance to mitigate the potentially substantial cost of care for dogs with epilepsy.
