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

Spontaneous duodenobiliary reflux is a rare condition in veterinary medicine, previously documented in only one canine case. We report a second instance in a 3-year-old neutered male Yorkshire Terrier, detected incidentally during a barium contrast study of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Multimodal imaging, including radiography, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasonography, confirmed the reflux and identified abscessing pancreatitis as its cause-a previously unreported etiology in dogs. This case expands the understanding of duodenobiliary reflux in canines, identifies abscessing pancreatitis as a novel differential, and demonstrates the diagnostic value of advanced imaging. In conclusion, abscessing pancreatitis should be considered as a potential cause of duodenobiliary reflux in dogs, and the use of multiple imaging modalities is pivotal for accurate diagnosis and management of this unusual condition.
