Retrospective Evaluation of Dystocia in Miniature Equids: 78 Cases (2002-2023).
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. 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
objectiveTo describe patient characteristics, laboratory data, fetal orientation, methods of correction, survival, and treatment in miniature equids with dystocia.
designRetrospective study conducted from January 2002 to June 2023.
settingEquine referral hospital and field service. ANIMALS: Seventy animals with a total of 78 instances of dystocia.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsRecorded variables included signalment, clinicopathologic data, fetal presentation, correction method, survival to discharge, and complications. The survival of miniature equid mares was 94% (73/78), while survival of foals was 17% (13/78). The most common causes of dystocia were abnormal limb presentation in 27% (21/78), neck flexion in 23% (18/78), and caudal presentation with bilateral hip flexion in 17% (13/78). The correction methods used were controlled vaginal delivery in 45% (35/78), assisted vaginal delivery in 35% (27/78), cesarean delivery in 17% (13/78), and fetotomy in 4% (3/78). Complications included retained fetal membranes in 19% (15/78), metritis in 8% (6/78), obturator nerve paralysis in 5% (4/78), and hyperlipidemia in 5% (4/78).
conclusionsMiniature equid mares appear likely to survive dystocia. The condition can be resolved by controlled or assisted vaginal delivery in the majority of cases. Continued research and training are needed to improve survival in foals.
