1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bleomycin (BLM) is a cytotoxic antibiotic used in veterinary oncology, primarily in electrochemotherapy (ECT), a local ablative therapy where electric pulses increase drug uptake in tumours. BLM is administered intravenously or intratumourally, with the standard intravenous dose for dogs being 15,000 IU/m², followed by electric pulses 8-10 minutes later. This protocol is derived from human oncology and lacks extensive pharmacological data in dogs. We studied BLM pharmacokinetics in 29 dogs with various tumours treated with intravenous BLM and ECT between 2017 and 2023. Samples were collected from serum of 15 dogs, serum and tumours of 8 dogs, and tumours of 6 dogs. The mean volume of distribution (Vd) of BLM was 224.5 ± 75.02 ml/kg, clearance (CL) was 7.04 ± 2.05 ml/kg/min, and area under the curve (AUC) was 65.87 ± 2.11 µg·min/l. The half-life (t₁
