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

This retrospective study investigated the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes in 419 backyard (pet) chickens admitted to the Service for Avian and Reptiles at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna from 1 May 2009 to 30 April 2019. The median age of the chickens was 1.5 years, with 83.8% being female. The majority (80.0%) presented with individual clinical issues, while 20.0% were diagnosed with flock diseases. The most common admission causes included unspecific clinical signs (57.3%), respiratory tract issues (18.4%), and locomotor problems (16.2%). Diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, radiography, and CT scans revealed pathologies, including ascites, salpingitis, and skeletal system abnormalities. Parasitological examinations found a high rate of coccidia,
