Association among raised intraventricular pressure, clinical signs, and magnetic resonance imaging findings in dogs with congenital internal hydrocephalus.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDogs with internal hydrocephalus do not necessarily have high intraventricular pressure (IVP). HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesNot all reported MRI findings indicate high IVP and some clinical signs might be associated with elevated IVP and syringomyelia. ANIMALS: Fifty-three dogs. MATERIALS AND
methodsCross-sectional study. Clinical signs and MRI findings were evaluated for an association of IVP >12 mm Hg and syringomyelia.
resultsHigh IVP was associated with obtundation OR 4.64 (95% CI 1.27-16.93) (P = .02), head tilt OR 6.42 (95% CI 1.08-37.97) (P = .04) and nystagmus OR 8.24 (95% CI 1.44-47.07) (P = .02). Pain was associated with syringomyelia OR 3.4 (95% CI 0.98-11.78) (P = .05). The number of affected ventricles was associated with high IVP OR 2.85 (95% CI 0.97-8.33) (P = .05) and syringomyelia OR 12.74 (95% CI 2.93-55.4) (P = .0007). Periventricular edema OR 24.46 (95% CI 4.54-131.77), OR 7.61 (95% CI 1.91-30.32) (P < .0002, P = .004) and signal void sign OR 17.34 (95% CI 4.01-74.95), OR 4.18 (95% CI 1.16-15.02) (P < .0001, P = .03) were associated with high IVP and syringomyelia. The probability for syringomyelia is lower with disruption of the internal capsule OR 0.19 (95% CI 0.05-0.72) (P = .01) and higher VBR OR 0.25 (95% CI 0.1-0.63) (P = .004). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Previously reported MRI findings are not predictive of high IVP. Clinical signs and MRI findings should be used to make a diagnosis of internal hydrocephalus in dogs with or without high IVP.
