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
Background: The inquiry on the venous drainage of the heart of dogs is still under development, despite its significant importance in the framework of comparative anatomy and its implications for veterinary medicine. Aim: The objective of the study was to perform a qualitative and biometric characterization of the cardiac veins of dogs. Methods: Using the venous bed perfusion technique, semi-synthetic resin (Palatal GP40L 80% and styrene 20% with blue dye) was injected into the venous system of 32 hearts of dogs that died in veterinary clinics, categorized by weight as follows: <10 kg; 10-19 kg; 20-29 kg; ≥30 Kg. Results: The length and diameter of the coronary sinus for the <10 kg group were 18.49 ± 3.31 and 4.40 ± 0.85 mm. Its morphology was cylindrical in 50% of cases and funnel-shaped in 34.4% of them. Arteriovenous trigone was observed in 93.8% of hearts, with a prevalence of closed configuration in 60% of cases, in both the superior and inferior segments. The diameter of the great cardiac vein at the level of the paraconal interventricular sulcus for the 20-29 kg group was 2.13 ± 0.49 mm, while its distal diameter was 4.03 ± 0.32 mm. The left marginal vein originated mainly in the lower third of the left margin (46.9%), and its caliber at the drainage (2.84 mm) was larger in cases at the level of the coronary sinus than in the great cardiac vein ( Conclusion: The qualitative and biometric characteristics of the venous structures of the heart of dogs were described in detail and categorized by weight groups of the animals. These results are highly useful for the implementation of endovascular devices and the treatment of cardiac diseases.
