1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As dogs live longer, they face an increased risk of functional age-related changes, including physiological and behavioral alterations. However, data on these age-related processes in domestic dogs remain limited. In this study, we assessed serum concentrations of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10), personality and cognition using validated scales (Dog Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory Personality Questionnaire (RSTQ-D), Dog Impulsivity Assessment Scale (DIAS), and Canine Cognitive Assessment Scale (CCAS)) in 44 healthy pet dogs from two non-overlapping age groups (1-4 years old and ≥11 years old). Generalized linear models revealed small but significant (
