Renal ultrasonography in healthy Saanen goats: topographic, biometric and echotextural assessment.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
This study aimed to establish reference ultrasound values for renal dimensions in healthy dairy goats and to investigate correlations between kidney size and body measurements. Thirty-four clinically healthy lactating Saanen goats underwent standardized ultrasonographic evaluations. The left kidney showed significantly greater length, height, and medullary pyramid dimensions than the right (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed for other variables (p > 0.05). The right kidney was located in the craniodorsal quadrant between the 12th and 11th intercostal spaces, while the left kidney was primarily positioned in the right caudodorsal quadrant. Mean kidney volume was 68.91 ± 9.71 cm³ for the right kidney and 63.32 ± 22.31 cm³ for the left. Cortical and medullary diameters averaged 0.80 ± 0.13 cm and 0.81 ± 0.15 cm, respectively. Ureter, renal pelvis, and hilum measurements were 0.11 ± 0.03 cm, 0.20 ± 0.04 cm, and 0.60 ± 0.12 cm, respectively, for both kidneys. Weak correlations were found between body biometric parameters and renal dimensions. These findings underscore the importance of species-specific ultrasonographic reference values in small ruminants to enhance diagnostic precision and support the early detection of renal disorders..
