Prevalence and management practices of ophthalmic lesions in laboratory mice.
Article in Scientific reports, 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 regular inspection of the eye health is an essential part of the veterinary care task in an animal facility in order to achieve robust results during experimentation. The aim of the study was to find out, when and how ocular diseases are recorded in laboratory animal facilities and what measures are taken. An online questionnaire was sent to people who work in a research environment and are involved in monitoring of animal wellbeing. In addition, an evaluation of 142 veterinary clinical cases in mice were carried out under routine conditions with the help of ophthalmological tools. 128 participants from three European countries took part in the survey. 93% stated, that eye changes, if recognized, are recorded during cage changing but in 70% of the responses, there was no systematic analysis of the underlying causes. The population study showed that technical aids are indispensable for the detection of eye lesions in mice. The survey and the population study show that although recommended, routine checks of the eye are rarely carried out and usually without suitable technical aids. From the point of view of good veterinary practice, more attention should be paid to the ocular health in laboratory animal husbandry.
