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

Background: As numbers of dogs entering Canada from abroad are increasing, it is essential to understand the scope, challenges, and risks associated with canine importation. Canadian veterinarians' collective experience with and clinical knowledge of imported dogs can provide valuable insights into this practice. Objective: To describe Canadian veterinarians' experiences with, and perspectives of, imported dogs in clinical practice. Procedure: An anonymous, online survey was circulated to Canadian veterinarians, Results: A total of 524 responses were included. Veterinarians reported imported dogs mainly originating from the United States (89%) and imported Conclusion and clinical relevance: Canadian veterinarians' experiences reinforced gaps in the healthcare of imported dogs, highlighted inconsistencies in clinical management of these dogs, and identified areas in which educational resources could improve animal health and the practice of importing dogs.
