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
objectivesTo describe the clinical characteristics of 11 dogs and 2 cats with extrahepatic biliary obstruction (EHBO) who underwent self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement. We also examined the indications for the procedure and evaluated its outcomes. Lastly, we identified risk factors associated with survival in these animals.
methodsThis retrospective study included 11 client-owned dogs and 2 client-owned cats that underwent biliary SEMS placement. Medical records were reviewed.
resultsThe average age of the animals was 9.3 years (range, 6-15). The majority of animals had at least one clinical sign associated with EHBO. Frequently appearing clinical signs were inappetence, lethargy and jaundice. No complications were found related to the stenting procedure. Clinical signs and serum total bilirubin concentration improved postoperatively in all 13 animals. The 12 animals (92.3%) that survived until discharge were followed up to 2 years postoperatively, during which time no significant complications were observed. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Biliary SEMS placement may be considered as a treatment option for dogs and cats with EHBO, with minor complications and potential for permanent treatment of EHBO.
