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
In this study, we analyzed the prevalence of diabetes in dogs over a nine-year period (2015-2023) in Japan using records provided by a pet insurance company. The observed prevalence rose from approximately 0.07% in 2015 to 0.30% in 2023, highlighting a steady upward trend. Logistic regression analysis confirmed this increase (regression coefficient β=0.121, P<0.001), with an odds ratio of 1.128 (95% confidence interval: 1.116-1.142), indicating an annual 12.8% increase in the odds of diabetes. A similar trend was observed among newly enrolled animals each year (β=0.0927, P<0.001; OR=1.097, 95% confidence interval: 1.076-1.119), suggesting a 9.7% annual increase in the odds of developing diabetes. The insurance dataset consistently showed a higher prevalence in males compared to females across all years. Additionally, we examined 209 clinical cases of canine diabetes collected from 21 veterinary hospitals to investigate age at diagnosis, sex, and neutering status. Case records indicated an age-related increase in diabetes incidence, with a peak between 8 and 10 years of age. The timing of diabetes onset did not significantly differ by sex or neutering status (χ
