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

The clinical outcomes in horses diagnosed with established synovial sepsis (SS) or minimally contaminated synovial wounds (SW)/non-established sepsis, following intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) treatment, have not been reported since 2010. Additionally, previous reports on this subject were confined to just two clinical retrospective reports. This study aimed to provide an update on the short-term (hospital discharge) and long-term (≥1 year) survival rates in adult horses diagnosed with SS or SW treated with IVRLP at a single institution in the USA from 2010-2020. The study also seeks to determine IVRLP variables associated with survival. The medical records of 163 adult equine, either diagnosed with SS (group 1) or SW (group 2), from 2010-2020 treated with IVRLP were reviewed. The short-term survival rate was 88.9% (56 out of 63) for group 1 and 99.0% (99 out of 100) for group 2. The long-term survival rate was 65.1% (41 out of 63) for group 1 and 83.6% (46 out of 55) for group 2. Gentamicin was the most commonly chosen IVRLP antimicrobial choice (153 out of 163 cases). Horses in group 1 were less likely to survive until hospital discharge (
