Review: spinal shock, crossed extensor reflex, and mass reflex in dogs and cats-a literature review, clinical observations and considerations.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2026. 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
The phenomena of spinal shock, crossed extensor reflex, and mass reflex are discussed to different extents in veterinary neurology textbooks, in literature on experimental animal models, and clinical reports on veterinary neurological patients. Aspects related to timing of onset of spinal pathology, their implications for neuroanatomical localizations, and their prognostic significance are clinically relevant. In this review article, the authors discuss and summarize the current literature and highlight collective observations in clinical veterinary neurology patients. Underreported observations emphasized in this article include the possibility of (1) asymmetrical/lateralized/unilateral spinal shock, (2) crossed extensor and mass reflexes in patients with (per-) acute myelopathies, (3) asymmetrical/lateralized/unilateral crossed extensor reflex, (4) mass reflexes observed in patients with (per-)acute myelopathies and concurrently with signs of spinal shock, and (5) a pelvic limb crossed extensor reflex in patients with pathology other than cranial to the lumbar intumescence.
