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
A four-month-old intact male Bernese Mountain Dog was presented for an orthopedic examination due to an abnormal hind limb gait and tarsal hyperextension for the past 2 weeks. Pain was observed upon palpation of the lumbosacral region. Moderate bilateral tarsal hyperextension and mild metatarsal outward rotation were observed. A wide, slightly abducted stance and a stiff gait were noted in the hind limbs. Radiographs revealed symmetric erosive lesions in the left sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and laxity of the hip joints. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple deep articular bone erosions with peripheral sclerosis of both SIJs, accentuating the iliac bones with consequential irregular widening of the sacroiliac joint spaces. The dog was treated conservatively with carprofen, physiotherapy, joint nutraceuticals, and exercise restriction. Complete resolution of clinical signs was observed on orthopedic examination within 3 weeks. The dog remained clinically normal, with partial resolution of the radiographic lesions, during a follow-up after 6 weeks. The dog remained in clinical remission, and radiographs and CT imaging revealed complete resolution of the erosive lesions at the 1.5-year follow-up. Sacroiliac joint pain is a possible rare cause of lower back pain, gait abnormality, and lameness in dogs. Case reports of both septic erosive and non-erosive, non-septic SIJ arthropathy have been described. However, a diagnosis of sterile erosive SIJ arthropathy is presumed in this case, since the clinical recovery was uneventful with carprofen and physiotherapy.
