Diagnosis and Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Dogs: New Approaches.
Review in Veterinary medicine international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This review aims to define the best prescription options for the treatment and diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs. BPH has become the most common disease in older dogs. While it rarely poses life-threatening risks, it can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, as changes in prostate size can lead to various clinical signs, including tenesmus, constipation, and hematuria. An accurate initial evaluation and diagnostic method are essential for distinguishing BPH from other conditions and differential diagnoses. Treatment modalities include both medical and surgical options. In recent years, medical therapy for BPH has expanded and improved. The focus of medical treatment is to reduce prostatic volume, alleviate bothersome clinical sign, and prevent the need for surgical intervention, especially for dogs that are still used for breeding. The pharmacological effects, efficacy, and safety of these treatments must be thoroughly analyzed to ensure good drug adherence and persistence.
