Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy.
Article in Equine veterinary journal, 2026. 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
backgroundWhile computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking.
objectivesTo establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and compare those to unaffected horses with the use of cone beam CT (CBCT). STUDY
designProspective observational study.
methodsFour control horses and ten horses with CVCM underwent diagnostic imaging and histopathology. Morphometric measurements were obtained from cervical radiographs and radiographic and CBCT myelography. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to establish thresholds of measurements.
resultsIntravertebral sagittal ratios were significantly different between CVCM and control horses. Dorsal myelographic column reduction was significantly different between compressed sites and non-compressed sites. Full myelographic area, dural area, and spinal cord area were significantly smaller in the CVCM horses, and were significantly smaller at compressed sites when compared to non-compressed sites. Reductions of full myelographic area and dural area and ratios of spinal cord area to full myelographic area and dural area were significantly larger at compressed sites when compared to non-compressed sites. Diagnostic thresholds to consider for CVCM are full myelographic area <294 mm MAIN LIMITATIONS: Small number of horses. CVCM horses were younger than control horses.
conclusionsCBCT myelography provides quantitative parameters that can support a diagnosis of CVCM and should be used alongside radiographic myelography.
