The first report of gastro-thoracoschisis in a puppy born to a pomeranian bitch afflicted with dystocia.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 1.5-year-old primiparous Pomeranian bitch was referred with abdominal discomfort and clinical signs of parturition. Fetal membranes were hanging from vulva, yet no evident progress in parturition was observed. Following medical treatment of the bitch with calcium and oxytocin, the first puppy was born, which had protruding viscera. The abnormal puppy was diagnosed with gastro-thoracoschisis as it has a thoracoabdominal cleft from sternum to pubis, but without skeletal abnormalities. Further, it was revealed that there were some histopathological lesions in the liver and lung of the abnormal puppy. The second and third puppies delivered without difficulty, but only one of these puppies was alive at birth. This case represents the first report of gastro-thoracoschisis clinical case in Pomeranian breed. This case underscores the complexities of managing congenital anomalies in canine and highlights the need for further research to understand the etiology of GTS, which is observed more frequently in ruminants and sporadically in dogs.
