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
The intestinal vicarious contrast medium excretion (VCME) can occur in dogs with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), and studies for intestinal VCME in dogs are lacking. This retrospective case-control study aimed to assess whether intestinal VCME could be observed on delayed CT in dogs with and without PLE. Thirty dogs who underwent abdominal delayed CT in the 10 min-delayed phase following the injection of contrast medium were enrolled. Six dogs were classified into the group with enteropathy based on imaging findings or abnormal results from cytology or histology. The six dogs had concurrent hypoalbuminemia and were diagnosed with presumed PLE. Five of the six dogs in the group with enteropathy had intestinal VCME. In the 24 dogs of the group without enteropathy, intestinal VCME was not detected on delayed CT, and VCME to the cisterna chyli was observed in one dog. The frequency of intestinal VCME was significantly higher in the group with enteropathy than in the group without enteropathy (p < .001). The presence of intestinal VCME on the delayed CT can be observed in dogs with PLE, and it can be used as noninvasive additional supportive evidence of canine PLE prior to histopathologic evaluation.
