Assessment of Blood Profiles and Pain in Sport Horses Undergoing Intrarectal Ozone Therapy.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMedical ozone is used in various treatments due to its oxidising properties.
objectiveWe aimed in this study to evaluate the impact of intrarectal ozone therapy on haematological and biochemical parameters, as well as the pain induced by the procedure in sport horses. STUDY
designIn vivo experiment with 12 Quarter Horses (3 males and 9 females) used as their own controls to assess the effects of ozone therapy.
methodsBlood samples were collected before treatment (Control), 24 h after ozone therapy (24 h post-treatment), and 7 days after the last day of ozone therapy (7 days post-treatment). These samples were analysed for haematological and biochemical parameters. Pain assessment, clinical evaluation, and the measurement of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were conducted before and during ozone therapy.
resultsOzone therapy significantly affected haemoglobin (F MAIN LIMITATIONS: The study's applicability is limited by the small sample size, particularly the number of males, yet the findings provide valuable insights.
conclusionsOverall, the administration of intrarectal ozone therapy over a 7-day period in horses was associated with favourable haematological modifications, which may suggest an enhancement in systemic tissue oxygenation.
