Comparison of medical versus surgical management of liver lobe torsion in rabbits.
Review in Veterinary evidence. 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
PICO question: Does medical management of liver lobe torsion in rabbits reduce mortality compared with surgical intervention? Clinical bottom line: Category of research: Treatment. Number and type of study designs reviewed: Six studies were appraised in total. This consisted of three retrospective cohort studies and three case series. Strength of evidence: Weak. Outcomes reported: Medical management carries a similar 7-day survival rate compared to surgical treatment; however, long-term morbidity and mortality is increased compared with surgery. Delayed diagnosis and severe anaemia negatively affect outcomes of both groups. Conclusion: Medical management does not reduce mortality compared with surgical treatment and within the literature there appears to be a preference for surgery when treating rabbits with liver lobe torsion.
