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
Gastrin is an important hormone involved in gastric acid secretion. Despite its importance, validated methods other than radioimmunoassay (RIA) to assess serum gastrin concentrations in horses are lacking. This study aims to determine the agreement between ELISA and RIA in quantifying equine serum gastrin concentrations. Serum gastrin concentrations were quantified using two ELISA kits and RIA. Samples (196) from 14 horses at different time points were analyzed using one ELISA kit and RIA, selected samples (7) were analyzed using a second ELISA kit, and the correlation between methods was calculated. The level of agreement was analyzed by Bland-Altman analysis and differences between ELISA and RIA were plotted against averages for each sample. The Pearson correlation between gastrin concentrations measured by ELISA and the RIA was 0.27 and -0.32 for ELISA kit 1 and kit 2, respectively. Mean bias (ELISA-RIA) was 198.40 pg/mL (95% CI: -142.95-539.76) and -17.90 pg/mL (95% CI: -89.98-54.19) for ELISA kit 1 and kit 2, respectively. Measurements of horse gastrin by both ELISA methods were highly variable, with an unacceptable correlation to the reference method, RIA. Using non-validated ELISA methods to quantify horse gastrin cannot be recommended.
