Immunohistochemical characterization of nerve fibers supplying canine elbow joint capsule.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
introductionOnly a few studies on the innervation of the dog's elbow joint have been described in veterinary literature. Consequently, there is a lack of information on the distribution and density of sensory nerve fibers within the dog's elbow joint capsule. In the current study, the density of nerve fibers and their functional characteristics within the dog's elbow joint capsule were determined by using immunohistochemical techniques. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study material consisted of isolated joint capsules of the right and left elbow joints of 10 dogs, was divided into four quadrants: cranial, caudal, lateral and medial. The prepared material was cut with cryostat in to 14-16µm thick sections and next subjected to double immunohistochemical staining. Primary antisera directed against acetylated tubulin (AccTub), substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), galanin (GAL), and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DβH) were used for the study. The obtained preparations were analyzed using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal microscope.
resultsImmunoreactive fibers for all studied substances were located in all quadrants of the elbow joint capsule.
conclusionThe created preliminary model of the innervation of the dog's elbow joint provides a basis for expanding the scope of research on the innervation of this joint. Additionally, it may contribute to the search for new or improvement of existing surgical techniques within this joint.
