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
This research investigates the biomechanical effects of a novel ceramic implant for the treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CCLR) based on the tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) method using finite element analysis (FEA). A 3D FEA of the tibiofemoral joint simulating the applied forces (44.5% of body weight) during the mid-stance phase (joint angle 135°) of the dog's stride was performed. Three conditions were considered for each joint: the physiological condition, the pathological condition with CCLR and the restored condition after TTA. Eight cadavers were used to create fifteen paired knee joints. The results showed significant differences in the forces that could be measured in the patellar tendon (PT) and in the cranial displacement of the tibial tuberosity between the conditions. The PT forces increased in the pathological state and continued to increase in the restored state, while the cranial displacement of the tibial tuberosity increased in the pathological state and decreased again in the restored state. Correlation analyses revealed significant correlations between PT forces, body weight and cranial displacement. The FEA provides initial insights into the force distribution and functionality of the ceramic implant. However, further testing is required to validate reliability and evaluate the efficacy of the implant.
