Characteristics of Low-Speed Vehicular Rollover Trauma in Dogs Presenting to an Emergency Service at a Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Article in Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care (San Antonio, Tex. : 2001). 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
objectiveTo describe the epidemiology of, and injuries associated with, low- versus higher-speed vehicular trauma and to identify risk factors associated with mortality.
designRetrospective study from January 2015 to November 2020.
settingUniversity teaching hospital. ANIMALS: A total of 150 dogs with low-speed (<20 mph) vehicular rollover (LSVRO) trauma and 272 dogs with other vehicular trauma (hit by car [HBC]).
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsEighty-five percent of vehicles causing LSVRO trauma were driven by owners or family members of the dogs. Dogs in the LSVRO group were older (median: 4 vs. 2 years, p = 0.001), smaller (median weight: 11 vs. 21.5 kg, p = 0.001), and more often female (53.3% vs. 40.1%, p = 0.005) than the HBC group. Pelvic fractures, sacroiliac luxation, prepubic tendon rupture, and vertebral fractures were more common in the LSVRO group, and more soft tissue surgical procedures were required than in the HBC group (18.0% vs. 8.85%, p = 0.02). Within the LSVRO group, abdominal injuries (e.g., abdominal hernia, prepubic tendon rupture), pelvic fractures, and traumatic brain injury were all associated with increased mortality. Surviving dogs had higher ionized calcium concentration (1.26 ± 0.1 mmol/L) than those that died (1.18 ± 0.1 mmol/L, p = 0.003). There was a 40% reduction in survival odds for every 1-point increase in animal trauma triage score (p < 0.001). Blood product requirement and each soft tissue surgery increased mortality by 98% (p < 0.001) and 74% (p = 0.001), respectively, while orthopedic surgery conferred a 25-fold increase in odds of survival (p < 0.001).
conclusionsLSVRO trauma is characterized by a specific constellation of injuries compared with HBC trauma. Veterinary practitioners should be aware of the differences between the two trauma types and focus triage, resuscitation, and diagnostic tests in dogs with LSVRO trauma accordingly.
