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

Introduction: The intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) is one of the most common causes of spinal injury in dogs. Certain breeds, notably chondrodystrophic dogs, are predisposed to severe thoracolumbar IVDH due to anatomical and genetic factors. Methods: This study applied three dimensional (3D) volumetric imaging analysis to compare the spinal canal volume and to investigate the relationship between canal volume and neurological symptoms severity. We retrospectively analyzed 21 dogs (7 Bichon Frisé, 7 Dachshund and 7 French Bulldogs) with imaging confirmed thoracolumbar disc herniation. Computed tomography (CT) scans were segmented using 3D Slicer to quantify the bony spinal canal volume from the cranial to caudal end of the vertebral column. Results and discussions: French Bulldogs showed a significantly larger mean spinal canal volume than those of Dachshunds and Bichons (
