1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate the current status of ophthalmic examinations, referral practices to specialized veterinary eye hospitals, and the associated challenges faced by veterinarians in South Korea. Procedures: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in South Korea from April 23 to May 6, 2024. A total of 114 veterinarians participated in the study. Results: Over 80% of respondents ( Conclusion: While general ophthalmic services are widely available, the provision of fundic examinations remains limited. Addressing this gap may require increasing awareness of affordable diagnostic tools, enhancing veterinarians' diagnostic confidence through education and training, and emphasizing the clinical importance of fundic examinations.
