Correlation between the ultrasonographic measurement of intestinal thickening and laboratory parameters in asymptomatic dogs.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Intestinal ultrasound (USG) is a valuable diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal diseases in dogs. Despite its usefulness, the clinical significance of intestinal thickening in asymptomatic animals remains unclear. Aim: This study aimed to correlate the thickness of the intestinal layers with hematological and biochemical parameters in asymptomatic dogs. Methods: Thirty healthy dogs were assessed and divided into two groups: G1 ( Results: The results showed no statistically significant correlation between intestinal thickness and keratometric parameters, leukometry, proteinogram, and serum biochemistry ( Conclusion: Therefore, identifying early markers for the diagnosis of enteropathies in asymptomatic dogs was not possible. The lack of associations limits the clinical usefulness of intestinal USG as a predictor of laboratory alterations or as a tool for diagnosing enteropathies in the early stages. Expanding the sample, using additional biomarkers, conducting prospective studies, and correlating USG findings with intestinal histology are recommended. These steps could help explore new clinical and laboratory markers to better understand the clinical significance of gastrointestinal tract thickening in dogs.
