Bile Culture, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, and Hepatobiliary Pathology in Dogs Undergoing Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Mucocele.

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
Gallbladder mucocele is a major cause of biliary disease in dogs, particularly affecting elderly and small-breed populations.
backgroundThis study retrospectively evaluated 65 dogs that underwent cholecystectomy at a referral hospital in Seoul, Korea, (2022-2025) to characterize clinical features, bile culture results, antimicrobial susceptibility, and histopathologic findings.
methodsSignalment, ASA grade, preoperative laboratory data, bile culture and susceptibility results, and postoperative outcomes were reviewed.
resultsBile culture was positive in 21.3% (13/61) of cases, most frequently isolating
conclusionsAlthough the bile-culture positivity rate was modest, the frequent detection of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) organisms highlights the clinical value of culture-guided antibiotic therapy. Routine bile culture with susceptibility testing, concurrent liver biopsy, and careful perioperative management may improve diagnostic accuracy and outcomes in canine gallbladder disease.
