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

Herein, we investigated the positional relationship between the cervical esophagus and trachea using computed tomography (CT) images in dogs with tracheal flattening. From these CT images, the ratio of the tracheal diameters in the short (vertical) and long (horizontal) axes of the tracheal ring (S/L ratio) and the vertebra-trachea-esophagus (VTE) angle were measured at the point from the 3rd cervical (C3) to the 3rd thoracic vertebra (T3) levels. The VTE angle in dogs with tracheal flattening with an S/L ratio under 0.24 tended to be smaller than the angles at the level from C4 to T2 in dogs with an S/L ratio over 0.25. The positional relationship between the esophagus and trachea seems to be possibly related to tracheal cross-sectional shape.
