Immunosenescence and Inflammaging in Dogs and Cats: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
A consistent and important feature of biological aging is the change in the types and functions of cells comprising the immune system. Across various mammalian species, this change follows consistent patterns, including diminished protective capacity, leading to increased vulnerability to infectious disease, and increased low-grade chronic inflammation, raising the risk of numerous aging-associated diseases. Although these patterns are well characterized in rodents and humans, there is less evidence available in companion animal species. The most recent review of the literature evaluating aging changes in the immune system in dogs and cats was published in 2010. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarize the currently available information concerning immune system aging in these species and to review what is known about the clinical consequences of this process and about potential strategies for mitigation.
