Renal Lipidosis in Horses and Donkeys: 25 Cases (2008-2022).
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. 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
backgroundRenal lipidosis is a well-documented histologic finding in humans and small animals with renal and metabolic disorders, but it is not well described in equids.
objectiveTo describe the signalment, clinicopathologic indices, and postmortem findings of equids with a histologic diagnosis of both hepatic and renal lipidosis (HL + RL) and compare them to cases with hepatic lipidosis only (HL). ANIMALS: Equids with necropsy findings of renal or hepatic lipidosis (state diagnostic lab) between 2008 and 2022.
methodsRetrospective case-control study. Signalment, history, necropsy diagnosis, and selected biochemical data at admission were extracted from medical records. Each case of HL + RL was assigned a matched case from group HL for comparison of clinical data.
resultsRenal lipidosis was diagnosed in 0.5% (25/4680) of equid necropsies. Donkeys (7/13) and pony/miniature horses (13/37) with hepatic lipidosis were more likely to also have renal lipidosis compared to horses (5/141; p = 0.0006, RR = 15.1and p < 0.0001, RR = 9.9, respectively). No cases of renal lipidosis were identified without concurrent hepatic lipidosis. The predominant presenting complaints involved gastrointestinal (16/25) and neurologic (12/25) systems. Compared to group HL, group HL + RL had significantly higher admission plasma lactate concentration (+6.2 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.04-13.1, p = 0.04) and GGT activity (+246 U/L, 95% CI -480.4-1870, p = 0.02). No significant differences were detected in creatinine or triglyceride concentrations.
conclusionsRenal lipidosis is an occasional postmortem finding in equids with hepatic lipidosis and is more common in donkeys, ponies, and miniature horses compared to horses. The clinical implications of renal lipidosis remain unclear.
