Focal Autonomic Seizures Manifesting With Prevailing Signs of Gastrointestinal Disorder in Dogs.
Article 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 2 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
In human medicine, focal seizures can clinically express as autonomic signs, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, cardiovascular changes, and variation of pupillary size; but little is known about possible presentations of autonomic seizures in veterinary medicine. Three dogs were presented for recurrent episodes characterized by hypersalivation, vomiting, retching, and signs of abdominal discomfort. Neurological examinations were normal between episodes. Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings identified ictal or interictal epileptiform discharges in all dogs. Based on clinical signs and EEG findings, a diagnosis of focal autonomic seizures was made. There was a notable positive response of clinical signs to antiepileptic treatment. These cases highlight the diverse clinical presentations of focal autonomic seizures in dogs and emphasize the diagnostic value of EEG in these cases.
