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
Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is an emerging bacterial pathogen of pigs, presenting with septicemia and acute death. Here, we explored the sequential development of pathogenesis of porcine isolate of SDSE in mouse model. Forty Swiss albino mice of either sex, aged 3–4 weeks (Group I) were intravenously inoculated with 0.1 ml of bacterial inoculum containing 2.1 × 107 CFU, while 24 (Group II) received sterile PBS at the same volume via the same route and observed daily for clinical signs and mortality up to 15 days. The mice (6 infected and 4 control mice at each time point) were sacrificed at 1, 3, 5,7,10 and 15 days post-inoculation for the estimation of hematobiochemical parameters, bacterial load, pro-inflammatory cytokines, pathological changes with demonstration of bacterial antigens, and apoptosis. The infected group of mice showed anaemia, leucopenia, higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, higher lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, and lower levels of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione, and catalase), and higher amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines as compared to control mice. Microscopically, infected group of mice showed septicemic lesions with predominant lesions of myocarditis. The immunolocalization of SDSE antigens was observed in the lungs and spleen of the inoculated mice. The immunodetection of caspase-3 in the splenocytes confirmed the presence of apoptosis due to bacterial toxin. The clinical signs, hematobiochemical parameters, bacterial load, oxidative stress parameters, pathological lesions, and apoptosis were higher during 3rd -5th DPI and reduced thereafter. Understanding the pathogenesis during progressive stages of infection by SDSE will pave the way for its effective control.
