Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: A 1-month-old female snow leopard cub at Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park exhibited excessive tear production (lachrymation). Examination diagnosed primary entropion, a condition in which the eyelid margin folds inward due to developmental abnormalities, thereby resulting in corneal irritation and damage. Case Description: Initial conservative management with eyelid hair trimming and topical lubrication was attempted because the cub was young. However, persistent symptoms required surgical intervention using the modified Hotz-Celsus technique. This procedure successfully corrected the entropion without complications, as confirmed by thorough postoperative monitoring. Conclusion: This report is the first documented case of entropion in a snow leopard cub, demonstrating successful surgical resolution. This case provides significant insights into the diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic conditions in this species, highlighting the importance of early intervention and precise surgical techniques in wildlife conservation.
