Removing an Embolized Peripheral Intravenous Catheter from the Left Caudal Lung Lobe of a Dog via Intercostal Thoracotomy.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An 8-month-old Standard Poodle was referred to a surgical specialist for suspected peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) embolism originating from the right cephalic vein. Upon removing the 20-gauge PIVC, the tip appeared to be 2 cm shorter. Radiographs were obtained for the localization of the PIVC embolism, but no abnormalities were seen. A computed tomography scan of the whole body was performed. PIVC embolism was observed due to a difference in Hounsfield units between the catheter tip and the surrounding lung parenchyma in the ventral aspect of the left caudal lung lobe. A left lateral thoracotomy in the seventh intercostal space was then performed, leading to the successful retrieval of the catheter tip while allowing the lung lobe to be spared. This case report describes a PIVC embolism migrating to the lung parenchyma and its successful surgical removal.
