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
purposeTo evaluate the self-ligation of the spermatic cord and vas deferens in healthy adult dogs undergoing open orchiectomy, through clinical assessment, evaluation of acute inflammation, and surgeon satisfaction.
methodsTwenty adult male crossbreed dogs were included in the study and were randomly assigned to two groups of ten animals each. The SCT group underwent spermatic cord ligation using absorbable suture material, whereas, in the SCVT group, hemostasis was achieved through self-ligation involving the spermatic duct and vas deferens. The evaluated variables included clinical parameters, acute inflammatory biomarkers, inflammation at the surgical knot site via infrared thermography, surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, and surgeon satisfaction by using standardized scoring systems.
resultsSurgical time was significantly shorter in the SCVT group compared to the SCT group (p = 0.021). The total leukocyte count was significantly higher (p = 0.01) in the SCVT group 24 hours after surgery.
conclusionBoth techniques proved to be safe and effective for open orchiectomy in healthy, medium-sized, crossbreed adult dogs. The SCVT was faster to perform, but it elicited a greater acute inflammatory response, as indicated by the increased total leukocyte count.
