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
Introduction: Urinary tract disorders are common in dromedary camels and present diagnostic challenges due to non-specific clinical signs and limited field diagnostic tools. Ultrasonography is a valuable, non-invasive modality for evaluating renal and lower urinary tract abnormalities. This long-term retrospective study aimed to describe the ultrasonographic findings associated with urinary tract disorders in dromedary camels and to assess the diagnostic utility of ultrasonography as a primary imaging modality. Methods: Records of 1,100 camels (3 months-20 years) examined between 2012 and 2025 were reviewed. Based on primary clinical presentation and ultrasonographic observations, animals were classified into six descriptive groups: hemorrhagic (G1), inflammatory (G2), infectious (G3), obstructive (G4), traumatic (G5), and neoplastic (G6). Sonographic features were summarized descriptively, and ultrasound-guided aspiration was performed when indicated for pathogen identification. Results: G1 ( Conclusion: Ultrasonography provided a detailed assessment of a wide range of urinary tract disorders in dromedary camels and proved to be a practical, non-invasive diagnostic tool in both field and hospital settings. The retrospective data demonstrate its value in identifying lesion location, tissue alterations, and associated structural abnormalities, even when laboratory or advanced imaging data are incomplete. These findings support ultrasonography as a primary diagnostic method for urinary tract evaluation, enhancing clinical recognition and management of urinary disorders in camels.
