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
backgroundAlthough kidney diseases have a high prevalence, initial recognition and diagnosis of renal disease are complicated in avian medicine.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to assess the intraosseous excretory urography (IOEU) in order to introduce a new method for evaluation of kidney's function in broilers as a primary model of birds.
methodsA total of 10 male broiler chickens at the age of 20 days were included and evaluated with plain and serial post-contrast radiography and computed tomography (CT) scan to check the time and concentration of the contrast media (CM) passage from the kidney. In the next step, after the nephropathy induction with gentamicin, plain and serial post-contrast radiography and CT scan were repeated. After the necropsy, kidney samples were sent for histopathology evaluation, and statistical analysis of data obtained from image analysis was conducted.
resultsAfter nephropathy induction, all of the chickens exhibited increase in kidney size and in histopathological evaluation, all the samples (30 of 30) showed severe tubular necrosis and mild glomerulopathy. In the IOEU, the average time to create the maximum concentration of CM, the average time to decrease the CM concentration from the kidney and the time of the complete clearance of CM indicated a significant incensement after nephropathy compared to the time before it.
conclusionIntraosseous excretory urography (IOEU) is a safe contrast imaging modality and can be useful in the assessment of the urinary system in chickens to check the changes in kidney size and function.
