Liver Lobe Torsion Following an Enterotomy for an Obstructive Foreign Body in a Puppy.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 6-month-old male intact Bernese Mountain Dog presented for lethargy and acute vomiting after known foreign body ingestion. The patient was diagnosed with an obstructive foreign body and underwent an exploratory laparotomy with an enterotomy. Twelve hours postoperative, he was diagnosed with a haemoabdomen. A second exploratory laparotomy was performed, and a left lateral and left medial liver lobe torsion was diagnosed. A left lateral liver lobectomy was performed. The left lateral liver lobe was submitted for histopathology and was consistent with acute torsion. This draws interest to the case as the patient is a juvenile dog and there was involvement of two liver lobes which is rare. The cause of liver lobe torsion is unknown in this case. Liver lobe torsion is rare and has never been reported in a young dog as an immediate postoperative complication.
