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
backgroundHuman literature describes vascular patterns in various types of lung consolidations; however, these changes have not been analyzed in dogs and cats. This retrospective analysis of medical records aimed to describe vascular patterns observed in the airless subpleural lung tissue of dogs and cats and to compare these patterns to various lung consolidations and clinical diagnoses according to parenchymal and vascular criteria described in human literature. ANIMALS: This study included 347 cats and 634 dogs.
methodsThis was a retrospective study encompassing medical records obtained between 2018 and 2023. Lung ultrasound was performed in dogs and cats and cases with different sonographically identified airless subpleural lung tissue were selected. Airless subpleural lung tissue was categorized into five types of consolidations: shred, nodule, wedge sign, mass, and tissue sign. Further classification was based on the parenchymal criteria, the presence or absence of bronchograms and the vascular patterns identified within these regions. Bronchograms were classified as air bronchograms (dynamic and/or static), fluid bronchograms, mixed fluid and air bronchograms, and/or absence of bronchograms. Vascular patterns were classified as tree-like, residual, chaotic, " CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: It is possible to identify and characterize airless subpleural lung tissue in cats and dogs based on the parenchymal and vascular characteristics.
