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
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is one of the most prevalent viral infectious diseases in cats. It presents a number of challenges for veterinarians in terms of diagnosis. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of ELISA with that of histopathology. Samples were obtained from 28 cats exhibiting signs consistent with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) at the northwest animal clinics in Tehran, Iran, between January 2013 and 2015. Of the cats examined, five were deemed healthy, 14 exhibited indications of wet FIP, and nine displayed symptoms of dry FIP. Furthermore, the sensitivities and specificities of biochemical parameters were determined. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA test for diagnosing effusive FIP were found to be 100%, which was identical to the results obtained from histopathology. The AST (AUC=0.708) and total bilirubin (AUC=0.74) demonstrated moderate clinical accuracy in diagnosing FIP. The optical densities (ODs) in positive cats and the negative control group exhibited no statistically significant difference between the effusive and non-effusive forms of FIP. The Youden index was employed to determine the optimal cut-off point for the ratio of ODs in positive and negative cats, which was estimated to be 3.375. In conclusion, the ELISA demonstrated high predictive values for the diagnosis of effusive FIP and has the potential for use in the serological diagnosis of feline coronavirus infection.
