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
objectiveTo describe the procedure and short-term outcomes of two dogs that underwent laparoscopic stapled partial cystectomy with intraoperative cystoscopy for excision of solitary, non-trigonal, urothelial carcinoma lesions. ANIMALS: A 12-year-old female spayed mixed breed and a 13-year-old female spayed Siberian Husky. STUDY
designShort case series.
methodsTwo dogs were diagnosed with a solitary, ventral body to apical, urinary bladder mass (maximal dimensions 1.2 cm and 1.4 cm) on ultrasound. No gross metastatic disease was evident on staging. Both dogs underwent general anesthesia with cystourethroscopy for evaluation of the bladder tumor and lower urinary tract. Laparoscopic stapled partial cystectomy was subsequently performed for excision of the bladder mass with gross margins of 1-3 cm based on concurrent cystoscopic transillumination and assessment of mucosal changes. Two medium/thick (purple) Tri-Staple EndoGIA cartridges (60 mm and 45 mm) were utilized to complete each cystectomy, and the excised bladder tissue was removed via a specimen retrieval bag and submitted for histopathology. The bladders were leak tested with sterile saline instilled via cystoscopy.
resultsNo leakage was observed from the cystectomy sites. No intraoperative or short-term complications were reported. Histopathology was consistent with completely excised urothelial carcinoma in both cases.
conclusionLaparoscopic stapled partial cystectomy was successfully performed with intraoperative cystourethroscopy in two dogs with apical/ventral bladder wall urothelial carcinoma. This closed cystectomy technique may reduce the risk for peritoneal seeding, though more data is needed. Further evaluation is indicated to determine the feasibility in dogs with non-apical/ventral urinary bladder masses.
