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

backgroundAlthough dyslipidemia is commonly reported in dogs, comparative data on the magnitude of serum cholesterol disturbances have not been reported. We aimed to describe the severity of hyper- and hypocholesterolemia in dogs with common endocrinopathies and to evaluate its association with common laboratory parameters. Medical records were reviewed over a decade (2011-2022) for dogs with hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus (DM), hyperadrenocorticism (HAC), or hypoadrenocorticism (HA), and included signalment, common laboratory and diagnostic imaging parameters, comorbidities, and medications. This retrospective study included 53 dogs with hypothyroidism, 54 with DM, 62 with HAC, and 79 with HA.

resultsMedians [range] of serum cholesterol concentration ([Chol]

conclusionsSerum cholesterol concentration can serve as a valuable tool to suspect certain canine endocrinopathies.
